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.

Alright well I'm a Senior in Car Audio at Best Buy so I can tell you the coolest thing right now is using an iPod with an iPod adapter for either Alpine, Pioneer, or Kenwood decks. It charges the iPod and lets you fully control it from the deck itself. My favorite setup for regular consumers (ie: not someone getting discount) is the Alpine CDA-9847 with iPod adapter. It has 3 pair of pre-outs, 50x4 with 18x4 rms, and ability to do the iPod and direct connect satelite etc etc. Lots of sweet features for only $199.99 for the deck, $99.99 for the connector and eventually if you want satelite another $99.98 for that plus $12.95/month for service. Sweet deal for a decent price.
