Thanks Grant for understanding my predicament. Your remedy is on my list. My options are: keep the current vehicle until the wheels fall off, buy new and swap sound system, or buy used with factory aux input. My understanding is that the USB input is digital only, so I searched for and found a cheap ADC (analog to digital converter) that is powered by USB, but it's output is either coaxial or optical, and I can't find a patch cable for either of those to USB. I don't really want to buy a new vehicle and instantly throw another $$$ into it to fix a $10 problem. But will do what it takes to fix the problem, and the auto salesmen seem sympathetic, but there's nothing they can do. Will look for the Kenwoods.
I now record music to cassette from my phone's headphone jack via YouTube and TuneIn Radio app. If I really like a band I will buy the CD or vinyl, but mostly it's free, and fun to make 90 minute tapes using Maxell, Sony or TDK metal, one song at a time, and almost nothing you would hear on American radio (unless I go nostalgic). Oh, and the sound quality is very good, friends always think I'm playing a CD. In the house, Vinyl Rules, but still spend most time recording with little or no loss of quality.
