MP3 solutions aside from AUX mode?

Perun · 21-03-2006, 08:25 PM

Here's a question for you guys to see if we can do some business.

Do you do, or is there anything of the kind, a device that'll let me play mp3s through my premium BA stereo without going through the AUX plug or using a portable mp3 player?

There was a little unit I saw years ago which used an actual hard drive to store the files. Is there anything you guys can think of that could be hooked up to the ICC and streamed through?

Or anything else of the kind because I've had bad experiences with portable mp3 players and the AUX cable/mode.

Cheers!

Currently there is no way to interface the ICC for MP3 other than the AUX or a FM modulator. If the unit incorporated a CD Changer things could be different and we could interface it via this, but due to the single and 6-disc in dash this is not possible. The only other way to play mp3's is to fit a single din mp3 player into where the tissue box is and run to the existing speakers. Sooner or later these units will come out with MP3 capability but until then running a seperate MP3 player is your only other option.
