Edward ~ That's the exact model I have. I kinda love the sd card input. I
carry 3 or 4 2 GB cards slotted into the ashtray cig holders. Mine will run
down my (old) aux bettery in about 3 days if I forget to flip my cutoff
switch.

Thanks for that link ;-)   Now I want the Bluetooth model
VR500CSBT<http://www.vr-3.com/product.php?p=VR500CSBT>  to
make my phone hands free.
