yeah i was thinking that too, but i dont have a manual to look in haha.. im almost positive you can hook a mp3/ipod to it, just not 100% sure on this unit cause i dont know much about it. i know the JVC i sold you there was a cable i bought to hook the ipod up to it, and this unit is "better" than that one, so im almost sure it can be done. i'll try and find a pdf manual and check.
and hey, ygpm.
