Arm rest for 2008 Fit?

I recently bought a "Honda Certified" 2008 base Fit with automatic transmission. Love the car! My question (1): where can I buy a center arm rest? How difficult is it to install it myself?

Question (2): My Fit does not have an mp3 input (although the dash control does have an AUX button). The $50-60 device that plugs into the aux socket and transmits from your mp3 player to the FM radio is messy (cables!) and difficult to use and the sound is not good. Can anyone recommend an alternative?

Thanks!

Armrest is super easy...here is where I'd say get it.

If you have a question on anything call them and ask for Matt.

Drat! It won't fit. (I have a 2008 base model with automatic transmission.)

I have one of these. It's a little flimsy, but it works. 07-08 Honda Fit Storage Armrest You can usually find other Fit armrests on eBay.
