well, I've been searching occassionaly, and pondering some different options.
I saw the omnifi 20gig setups, considering aux inputs, seen the dvd head units, considered a carPC, and looked at the neo jukebox setups. I havent really used any of these options (omnifi, dvd unit, carpc, or neo) in a car, only messing around at the audio places for the dvd units. I have used aux and dont really like having to control them two different places. I really want to eliminate cases and cases of cds, but I would kind of like it all to be organized in one head unit - or be able to control it with my head unit. Anyone have any interesting setups or suggestions to do this? Any pics of an omnifi or a neo installed? If you have something, please include a price estimate thanks -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

Just get a good quality headunit with auxilliary inputs and a good EQ. Then, if you want DVD capability I would get a PS2 or a seperate dvd unit and hook it up to a external monitor, which will cost you much much less than an in-dash unit.
As far as music goes, I would consider getting an iPod and using the iTrip to interface with the radio easily and wirelessly, or if you buy a Kenwood stereo they use a system called MusicKeg that plugs into your computer and plays the MP3's you put on it from a Kenwood headunit. Then just control your entire selection of music from the headunit without having to mess with anything else. However, if you have the money I would get the new Kenwood double-din in dash DVD/CD/MP3/WMA player with navigation, DVD, aux inputs, Sirius radio, MusicKeg interfaces, etc.... then one unit is all you need to fulfill all your needs. And it also fills the whole dash with one stationary screen which to me looks great. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
