I really can't believe that with a $980 stereo upgrade option, my in-dash 6-disc cd player can't play MP3's! I burned a lot of my music onto cd's in MP3 format that I used with my last car (X3) and it didn't even have an upgraded sound system. That along with no auxillary port for my iPod don't float well with me. Also, a lot of cars these days are coming satellite ready... well not the RXh. I have a lifetime subscription to Sirius and didn't want to waste it, so I bought the kit from Lexus and installed it myself. That helps with my music woes.
