yes I agree, but I have seen a company that adds a 3.5mm aux in jack to any old car radios or stereos and then you can plug in any mp3 player of your choice, then just unplug it when you finished. I just took even cheaper option and fitted a cassette to 3.5mm jack adaptor so I plug my ipod in while driving then just drop it in glovebox when finished and it all remains stock.
