[Vorbis] Does anyone know of any car Ogg-Vorbis players?

[Paul]

You sacrifice the external CD changer or Satellite Radio option on 
Toyotas/Scions actually.  The in-dash CD player still works fine, just 
as it did before.  For a Scion I can recommend this one 
(http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/USA-Spec-Toyota-Compatible-Dual-Auxiliary-Input-DFTOY-/sem/rpsm/oid/118956/catOid/-15842/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do) 
from Circuit City for$60.  If you order from them you can pick it up in 
the store if they have it in stock, which mine did.  The great thing 
about this aux input adapter is it has two sets of inputs.  You switch 
between them by using the disc changing buttons.  This makes it so you 
could do a DVD player and a music player, or any other combination of 
sources.
