Where's the USB port?

Yeah but what's the point when it has a full iPod interface.

do you still have an Aux/iPod port for the Base + Sport package? Or do you need to go with touring for that?

I find it odd that they included a compactflash card slot. I hope it supports the Extreme 3/4 series cards, since those go up to like 32GB nowadays.

No iPod (USB) connection, but there is an Aux connection on the stock HU.

When you say "full iPod interface", do you mean you can scroll through your songs lists from the head unit? I use a G3 iPhone and it seems redundant to buy an iPod. I can only get the head unit to play whatever I send from my iPhone, but using iPone to control the output. It's a hassle to open the center console each time I want to change songs.

I have an eclispe GPS (in another car) that has a USB input and I pop it in my laptop, move over 4 gigs of songs I want to listen to. plug it in the head unit, then the touchscrren nav can navigate the song lists and pick my songs. So far I can't do that with the stock head unit.

I bought a compact flash, but it was pricey compared to USB flash drives and I don't have a card reader in my laptop or home computer that works with it, so now I have to go spend another $30 on a card reader. It's just a pain in the a$$ compared to what other car manufacturers are offering.
