Default Anyway to add on a USB port to oem radio?

I have a backup camera, navi. How do you guys play all sorts of music without the flash drive feature? I used to have a radio with the port and the aux cord doesn't satisfy me enough.

Wow very good find. I will consider buying this next paycheck. Might go for the $249.99 package.
Btw do these guys install for you too? Or do you take it to a professional sound shop?

Install from what I understand is very plug and play. Email them, they can definitely help.

I haven't pulled the trigger yet...I want the 499 ML+ since I have NAV and Mark Levinson.

I have the ML system, and with the right mods, you can watch DVDs. Not as good as watching on a flash, but for now it suffices.

I did the NAV hack with the switch and can watch DVDs. I want it for Pandora integration.
