Still in stock w/free ship, though it seems like they could have tripled up on this, put a USB charge port on it, and some LEDs on the base to make it a charger and flashlight too. I suppose you might be able to DIY that if there is room in the base, hard to tell.
^ Yeah they wouldn't approve of my mod to their P746 radio either. I took the USB port power to a digital player module like the following, was a very tight fit in the phone tray due to limited depth, then wired it to the aux input jack.
Since the player module is only doing a line level output to the amp input, only uses tens of mA current so the USB port is still usable for other things.
That's funny, I placed this on my cart this morning...(along with some other items)

They could have easily added an mp3 decoder w/remote for pennies.

There's two models which look very similar, one has some additional feature (bluetooth? or maybe it was an onboard 5V regulator that allowed use from a 12V power source) that makes it too deep to fit in the P746 unless you make some sort of bezel to shim it further up in the phone cradle but then it wouldn't also hold a phone securely, and would have very limited space to plug in a USB flash drive with the handle in the way, at least where I wanted to mount it near the front corner of the phone cradle, so a USB drive sticking out would be less likely bumped when carrying it.
If it weren't for these fitment issues, there's a lot more polished looking modules I would've preferred.
