Best in car MP3 solution?
I have got a VW Golf mk V and would like to get an MP3 player for it,
but dont want to change the head unit. I would like to get some kind of MP3 player that connects into the CD Changer port. I dont really want a CD based solution and it is important that the menu system is flexible and easy to use. The ideal solution is the Phat Noise player which has an excellent interface (see the website)... ....but it is quite expensive (£600) ....and if you want it for a VW then it has to be sold via a VW dealer (Phat Noise have some kind of arrangement with them), but my VW dealer tells me that they will only fit them to brand new cars at the factory! Can anyone recomend a way of getting MP3s in car with the following requirements... 1) Keep existing VW head unit. 2) Not CD based MP3 3) At least 4GB capacity 4) Flexible menu interface 5) Doesnt need to be factory fitted when car is new! Thanks for any help! David Bevan http://www.davidbevan.co.uk |

Thanks, but from what I have heard about this type of interface the
quality is quite poor. David Bevan http://www.davidbevan.co.uk |

Have you considered a car computer?

My '05 Hyundai Santa Fe has a good one in it.....It's a factory but I
believe the brand that supplies them is Monsoon.... Len -- "MZ" wrote in message news Have you considered a car computer? "David" wrote in message m...

sean was onto the right idea, except for the wireless part...i wouldnt
get a wireless transmitter....that is always a bad idea. seein as how most places all the stations are taken and you will be competing for that station...anyways, an fm modulator would work. they connect directly to ur antenna and then to ur deck. When turned on, it will cut the signal to a couple of frequencies, allowing you to input ur audio and play them through your deck, like a regular radio station, just w/o competing for the frequency. here's an example: http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/P...fm+modulat or but look around on ebay. im sure you can find a better one for cheaper. |
