Yup, the Aux inputs, RCA Red/White/Yellow plugs are behind a flap below the A/C controls. But just those - I can't yet find the mobile phone connector cable. From the user manual for the MMCS it seems to show a standard Japanese DoCoMo phone connector plug, so converting that to a Lightning plug will be a seperate task, but only once I've actually found the cable itself.
I'm assuming Bluetooth connectivity will be a non-starter, since the hardware won't be installed, and connecting a bluetooth dongle to the phone cable might end up being electronically difficult. But that's not the end of the world, and a BlueAnt or something else is always an option for the phone.
I'm liking the idea of copying a heap of music across to the hard drive - may need an upgraded drive, depending on the capacity of what's in it, but given its from 2008, I'm not expecting huge.
What I also have with the car is the Owners Handbook, the MMCS user manual, and even the original service history.
The service history, though, only goes up to the first three services, ending on 18th December 2009, with 21,640km.
Three recalls were carried out, one on the accessory drive pulleys, one on the ECU software to prevent carbon buildup on the throttle during idle, and one to ensure the indicator stalk switches were securely attached.
I've discovered it's a "Super Exceed Navi" version as far as trim levels go, which apparently is FWD, despite CarJam being convinced it's 4WD. I'll jack up the back later today and have a look at the drivetrain to confirm for sure.
