|

I'm a firmly committed hard disk based audio man. Anyone know of a car stereo system that is hard disk based? I've found the Kenwood Keg but interested in other options. Also keen to find something that can also store movies or other multimedia and stream to an on-board screen. ideas? _________________ 1996 Bashed up Silver Super Exceed. Soon to be transformed |

Yep, Have a look at the Dension.
http://www.dension.com/main.php
Or you could do it like I do and use an iPod.
You can connect these to various Stereo head units. For quality you could go with an Alpine head unit with a KCA-420i interface. Or indeed any make Head unit with aux input facilities.
Actually you don't need aux inputs, there are other ways of doing it... Check out http://www.everythingipod.co.uk
Also here http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/category.asp?category=415
Too many choices really

Thx, I've got an iriver (the darth vader of HDD MP3 players) . Looking for something that I can control from the dash or hi-fi rather than the player. _________________ 1996 Bashed up Silver Super Exceed. Soon to be transformed |

Cheers. I looked at the Denison as well. Seems nice, but would like to find a dealer/fitter closer to Brighton (unless it's easy to fit). I'm a bit new to all this so not feeling comfortable about tearing fascias out of the new car i just can't wait to receive. _________________ 1996 Bashed up Silver Super Exceed.

Getting at the old unit is fairly easy but requires great patience and carefulness to remove the old plastic consol which is very brittle and prone to breaking There is a guide to it's removal somewhere here that you may find useful Only extra you need is the ISO connector adaptor if ness and a blank/cubby hole adaptor for the empty bit left over when swapping the double din unit to a single din unit.
Hint for the removal guide... click on my signature and look thro the albums for the 'Band expander' album _________________

Jerryfb, Road Radio in Church Road, Hove, have done installs on a few Delicas for me and so they're used to them now. I usually remove the centre console myself as 9 times out of 10 it will break. New ones are just over £80 from Brighton Mitsubishi. If you want help taking the console out then send me a PM and I'll give you my number. I get a 12.5% discount on parts from Mitsu so if we break the console it'll only be just over £70 to replace _________________ Pete
