Audiobooks a Deal Killer?

NEWBIE ALERT! if this is the wrong place.

I am considering a 2012 G37 w/ nav. Low miles. Love the car, ride, feel, etc.

I travel A LOT and currently listen to Audio books (purchased electronically from Audible) through a 3.5mm plug which, apparently, this car does not have.

I have searched the forum and found the lack of an audio input to be a problem for a lot of people. I have seen no solutions.

Is there a solution for people who want to listen to audio books? If not, I'm going to have to pass on this vehicle. There is no use in putting it otherwise. Seems silly to pass on a car that I love simply because of the lack of a plug, but there you go.

If the car has nav, more than likely it has bluetooth.

Does your device you listen to books have bluetooth?

Even if the car did not come with Bluetooth, Parrot and several others make low cost hands free Bluetooth kits the are relatively inexpensive to install.

I had this one in my 2004 G35 and in my wife's current Honda Pilot:

I wouldn't let something like this prevent you from buying the car. The library also has a massive selection of books on tape (Recorded Books Inc. is an excellent brand they carry here), but much of their offering is older, so they wont have the latest stuff, but everything is free, so that's a plus.
