Honda Odyssey

I recently purchased a 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L with Rear Entertainment System (RES) and was extremely disappointed with the fact that neither the 6 CD in-dash changer nor the DVD player could play my extensive collection of mp3 Cd's.
These days anything and everything that has a speaker is capable of playing mp3's whether it is the GPS navigator - Garmin Nuvi 350 or a digital photo frame let alone my 2 year old Motorola V330 cellphone or a cheap Sony portable CD player.
The 9 inch widescreen DVD screen has extremely poor resolution which makes store bought DVDs play like some low-res downloaded movie. The RES does come with A/V inputs which are inconveniently located near the 3rd row window seat. I was however able to play mp3 music as well as video from the iPod using these A/V inputs.
