Afternoon all .. First post from a new (well, 2 week old) Mk3 owner..
(I mean I've had the car 2 weeks, not that I'm 2 weeks old.. ahem.. s;)

s;) )

Anyway - I want to replace the double DIN headunit with something a bit more.. Erm.. how to be polite.. s;)

s;)

I was going to just dump my Alpine (18 month old MP3 head) in, but since I might well keep the car it's currently in, I started thinking..

Does anyone know of an MP3 head that has a matching in-dash 6-disc changer (Pioneer make an in-dash changer, I believe) that can also play MP3's.. I.e. I could have 6 discs worth of MP3's in the car at once..

I haven't come across one on my travels, but perhaps one of you on here will know of one s:)

s:)

Thanks,
Aaron

Dunno of an In-Dash one, but I used to have a Sony T70MX which did 6CDs of MP3s. Or if you're going external Markiii has quite a cool harddisk based solution.

Thanks guys - I did a bit of searching through the forum and found a link that Mark (markiii) posted to a US site for the mp3 module deely.. That looks rather sweet - rather expensive, but very nice indeed - especially given that you can get the modules to hook it directly into an Alpine headunit (my manufacturer of choice, them or Pioneer).

Oh dear, I can hear the credit card groaning already! s;)

s;)

Thanks,
Aaron

it's worth it, especially when you get the voice module

I'll second that, it's very cool having someone read the track/folder names to you.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone s:)

And cr*pola, those Pioneers are expensive!

I used to have a DEH9100R (before MP3 players became commonplace), but some thieving scum nicked it (and ripped most of the dash out of my 300ZX at the same time.. s:evil: :evil: s:evil: )..

Tempted.. now just to find an online supplier.. s:)

Cheers Buster, now just to figure out which single DIN changer it is that works with the head units s;)

s;) (The ones I could see there were all changers and radios, rather than just a slave changer unit.. I shall have a poke about Pioneers website)..
