Looking for suggestions for my stereo, trying to elimate some discs Options

[mark_426]

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

I just installed an Omnifi DMP1, and have been very pleased so far. It's got a DIN control scheme with detachable face, you can upgrade the drive to larger capacity, if needed. Easy to install and set up as well; wireless synch is also supported through an optional USB device. The only thing tht you might need is a receiver with Aux input. My Sony head unit needed an XA-107 to work correctly; I happened to have one from another project.

I don't personally like having to use the bundled software (SimpleCenter) to manage my tracks, so I will probably be installing the Openfi project on mine soon. There seems to be ongoing development of open source and DIY stuff for this unit, which I like.
