My mother's 04 RX330 still has cassette player, although we have never used it once after we bought the car since 2003.

ha ha... where have you been? Cassettes died atleast 10 years ago, maybe even more than 15 I can't even remember it was so long ago. In the U.S. atleast, you can't find new cassettes anymore of anything. You can still find blank cassettes for recording, but that's about it.

What's really funny is the 2RX only came with a tape deck if you ponied up the cash for the Mark Levinson system.

2nd gen. GS I owned had one, I never used it, but loved the fact that it had one. I don't know why, but I liked having it.

I'm sorry, it's included with the Navigation Package, not the Mark Levinson package. Which is an even odder bundling, IMO. WTF do cassettes have to do with turn-by-turn directions?

1. 2002 Toyota Rav4L cassette
2. 1998 Lexus Gs400 cassette
3. 2006 BMW X3 no cassette
4. 2009 BMW 335 no cassette
I still dig the cassette deck because I can pop in some old Stone Love, Spectrum & other 90's dancehall party tapes.
