    I was wondering if anyone knew the capacity for the built in HDD and if I could hook up a drive to load my MP3's directly to the unit so I didnt have to bother with connecting my phone(s)?

    thanks!

    Just plug in a USB drive with mp3s into the USB AUX port, wait for the system to index the songs (can take minutes if you have a ton of songs), press media button and USB tab and enjoy your music.

    You can read all about in on page 232 of the Nav. System Manual here; http://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/omnav/OM47675U/pdf/05-1.pdf
    (page 43 of the PDF above)

    Where in NY are you Adam?

    I live in Queens and work out in Commack.

    I've tried the play from the USB, I was actually hoping for a way to copy TO the HDD so I wouldnt have to keep plugging anything in, guess it's not an option =/

    thanks!
