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.

Not necessarily, some of the cars you don't retain control through the head unit despite what the website says. We've done a few of the Honda ones and we find about 50% of those cars actually get control of the iPod throughout the deck. BUT yes, with Sony or JVC you have to get the Dension IceLink but it's $199.99 compared to if you already have a Pioneer with IP-Bus port, Kenwood with changer controls, or Alpine with an Ai-Net port then you can get away with an iPod adapter for $99.99-$119.99
There may be other cars too that will give you non-functioning control using the IceLink, just we do a lot of Hondas here so those I know you a got 50/50 shot of it working. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT
