I was thinking about doing something with the radio, but you have to
remember my stable of autos! ;) Needs to be somewhat portable.

I did a fair amount of research and found the Motorolas get the highest
ratings for ease of use and sound quality. I went into Best Buy but they
had nothing in stock (was looking for a T215 or T 325) So I bought one on
eBay (A T305) for $15

Of course, the next day I walk into Best Buy and they have a T325 sitting
on the rack...

Just waiting for it to get here...

Thanks for the input. This would be the best solution, and one I may use
for the Scion, since I want to keep it neat looking.
