I asked about the 40-SB30 the other day, and recieved the following email back from Metra: The 40-SB30 is not an FM modulator, it is an antenna adaptor that will allow you to plug in an FM modulator. That part is not available yet. I don't know for sure when it will be available. Hopefully some time in April, but it may be longer.

I recently purchased a Subaru, and have been browsing the web for a few days, seeking information. Hopefully, you can point me in some of the correct directions. I just picked up my new 2005 Subaru Outback 2 days ago (2.5 base wagon). Most of my web browsing takes me to these crappy spammer sites, or part-search engines that suck. The sales person told me the stereo would play MP3s, but it does not (boy, I sure was pissed, but I like the car and don't want to return it over the radio). So, I would like to know what kind of options there are, to get an MP3 player installed. All of my original CDs were stollen out of my previous vehicles (along with my previous MP3 players), so I would really like a radio that molds into the car (and does not look like an after-market addition). The center arm-rest is way to low. I want to get the armrest extension, and the deal says it costs $144 to order. No way am I paying $144 for a plastic box that raises the arm rest a few inches up. Are there any companies that make similar items? I read about some kit that could be added to the car to improve the gas milage, and it was only $65 or something. Do these really help? Is there anything else I can do, to increase the fuel consumption, without damaging the vehicle? What good Subaru sites are out there, for Outback owners (other than here), for parts, repair information, mods, newbie guilds, whatever. This is my first Subaru, and I am very impressed with it. Now, I want to upgrade it.
