OK, if I was to get NEITHER of the above audio systems and therefore have the base unit only, what would be some recommended audio systems I should consider installing aftermarket? (Money is not too much of an object, but I'm not into volume in audio - quality of sound is much more important than volume. I don't turn up the volume that high.) Different features/flexibility might be more important, for example, being able to easily play MP3s or hook into another digital/satellite audio network, etc.

Definitely save your cash and go aftermarket. Those factory speakers are crap. Crutchfield.com is the source for all you need. Call and talk to one of their advisors. I swear it's the last company on the planet that has friendly and knowledgeable people on the other end (and not in India or the Carribean, either). Those guys will help you find what fits & sounds best.

Go for an Alpine deck, I have a 9845 on my Corolla. It does have an aux input at the back, only this I wished that Alpine had put it in the front instead of the back of the unit. And I have a pair of 6.5" JL audio speakers in the back, or Infinity speakers will sound sweet as well. The stock front speakers I plan on changing soon, maybe on boxing day :)

I have a JVC MP-3 Player in the Supra, with MB Quart stealth-mounted all the way around; 6.5" in front, 5" in rear.

All on E-Bay for about $140...
