Yes it sorta has "holes." The single disc stock radio has a "CD Changer Port" in the back.

I installed a PIE TOY03-AUX Auxiliary Input Converter (RCA red/white right/left Stereo Input to stock Radio CD Changer Port) in my xB. Check out this link:

With this converter installed, you can connect any device that has RCA outputs directly to your factory radio without using an FM modulator. The TOY03-AUX works with most 2003-2005 Toyota vehicles that are equipped with a radio that has CD changer controls...

This one will give you 2 RCA jacks. This is the one I have. I bought it at Curcit City for $50. Works great. Simple plug and play. Later! :D

At circuit city I bought a device like those but it actually charged the ipod and let's you control it with the stock radio..but on every other toyota car u can see the track listing,search for songs, but on the Scion models u can only control track skip...worked well enough but i returned it.. made by axcess you might have to go into the roadshop to see it as it was in a glass case in my store...

a connector came with my new HU, if u're into sound quality, you'll probably upgrade the HU anyway and get that capability or at least a addtional RCA connectors to do so.

otherwise ^^^what they said.

never thought to try to control tracks via the HU, duh! wonder if mine does that, will have to try.

If you're going iPod, i'd go with something that offers control on the unit.

If you're running minidiscs or someother mp3 player, PIE TOY03-AUX works like a charm

If you guys want something for your ipod plus sat radio or dvd player, try the pa11-toy this adapter lets you control the ipod from the radio and from the ipod at the same time-- the only things that's missing is id3tags.
