Recommendations for a head unit.

Recommendations for a head unit.

Hi all.

I'm looking for a new head unit with that will playback MP3s from
internal storage. Ideally this would be at least 20Gb.

I've seen head units from VDO that support up to 2Gb of storage - are
there any out there that support bigger memory cards? Are there any out
there with internal HDDs?

Here's the VDO unit I saw;

Thanks for any help!

What a discrace for a headunit. You might want to pass on this one and
shop around a bit more.

That's exactly what I want to do - I'm looking for recommendations.
Do you have any?

Cheers!

I'm using this Dual XHD6425, with my ipod, or laptop, or listening to mp3 or
WMA discs. Plus HD radio.
Don't have Bluetooth enabled phone though.
Paid $128 for it, and it really, REALLY surprised me.
Was going to just use it while my Chrysler OEM Infinity Gold unit was being
repaired, but it may have to stay in the dash.
As with all modern units I've seen, I hate, loathe and despise all the tiny
unlit buttons, but the remote control makes up for the inconvenience. Plus
the sound is incredible on HD radio.

YMMV

And I finally got around to checking out the front USB port.
The display reads the contents of the memory stick just fine, and the
"expander" circuitry works great!

I don't know about a HU with internal storage off the top of my head, but
Kenwood sells a unit with a USB port (and a 1/4 AUX in port) right in the
front of the unit. You could use a memory stick to easily transfer MP3's
from computer to HU.

As I've often said, a HU with an SD slot in front would be great as they now
sell inexpensive 4 gig SD cards. It seems like a natual fit. My guess is
that Sandisk will not liscense the technology to Alpine, Kenwood, Sony, JVC,
ect. This is a pitty as it would make discs (which are subject to scratches
and skipping) obsolete.
