If this picture is of the stock MTX radio, looks like bluetooth and AUX in are indeed standard!

There is a USB port farther down that would be great if it supports USB audio and is not just a charge port. The USB port on my wife's Venza is mounted remotely from the head unit too:

The Stereo is PERFECT!!!!
Minimalist, clean. I love it!

I did not expect an ECO mode.

Looking at the mirrors on the E1C makes me think I'll be changing those out for a set of 75/25 panoramics, got them on my truck and makes highway driving more pleasant. From the door outward, the first 75% of the mirror is a regular mirror, the last 25% is panoramic giving me not only a rear view but I can see at about 60 degrees out away from the mirror, allowing less chance of a lane change blind spot on the highway.

Definitely something that should be either a standard part or optional purchase.

Sidenote: My Victory Vision has 2 mirrors,in the fairing, work great to see my knuckles, so I added 2 more mirrors to my handlebars, and moved the fairing mirrors more to the outer sides of the bike. When I'm riding I now have 3 1/2 lanes of road in view between the 4 mirrors, so I can see if someones too close or along side my 4 to 8 o'clock position on the road.

Depending on the size and shape of those other mirrors is important.
One of the main reasons that the Elio gets such great fuel economy is the aero of it.
Since it is so narrow, anything that sticks out too far, and that isn't shaped right can actually knock off a few miles per gallon.
You can test that by sticking your hand out in the air flow; you'll feel a big difference if make a fist vs. holding it palm to the wind and flat.

Long time ago they were trying to find a way to make a Dodge Van more aero; what they found as the biggest increase was to remove the outside mirrors.

The ideal answer is wide angle cameras to replace the mirrors but the DOT won't allow them (yet).
