Although I don't have a Nissan 350z yet, I am VERY sure that this will be the next car I get. I want to go with a 2003-2005 model (the oil consumption problem makes me nervous). I really want one with a mp3 jack/aux input so I can hook up my mp3 player to it and not be bothered with cd's anymore. So my question is this, which models (if any) on a 2003-2005 350z come with one?

None, nada, not one, absolutely zilch. You'd have to buy a unit that mimics the CD changer/satellite connection. With minimal searching, you'll find what you're looking for.
I had a USA-SPEC unit on mine and it was a little clunky to use, but the sound was as good as you can get with an MP3 player.

i wonder why they included a cassette deck on these cars.. i think they pretty much quit making cassette tapes before the 2003.. lol
but mp3 players have been around for a while now.. it boggles me why they didn't put a input jack in instead.. oh well we shall never know..
its kinda funny tho.. in my 2003 z.. i dont think the cassette player has been used once

Oh well, this isn't going to stop me from buying this amazing car. I just hated using that FM transmitter (they really sound like crap!). I guess I'll go with an aftermarket option. Thanks

The stock system isn't that great unless it is the upgraded Bose system. Even then it is not the greatest. Since it is a roadster, I am nervous about changing it for something someone might want to steal LOL

I have the Bose system in my Roadster and use a cassette adapter to connect my ipod into the system. The sound quality is a couple of notches less than playing a CD, but better than an old school cassette and about a hundred times better than the FM style adapters. The one I have is made by AVB and cost about $12. It has a cord with an ipod plug that reels in and out of the unit, so it is very convent to use. The basic seek, scan, forward/reverse controls on the head unit control the ipod functions.

All right guys, two more questions? Lol. #1, would I be able to get this cassette adapter at the same place I bought my terrible FM transmitter(radio shack, wal-mart, ect)? #2. Which models (if any) have steering wheel stereo controls?
