Phatbox going in.... but.....

So after purchasing an aftermarket radio and it driving me crazy there were no controls and the info was gone from my display, I put the factory radio back in. With the CD changer driving me crazy I decided to take the PhatBox plunge.

Just won mine on eBay and it is on the way... and then I read the fine print:

"This unit does not include the USB cradle or the mounting hardware"

$#@#$*^&$@#@!!!!

So I'm looking around and can't find the cradle anywhere. Any suggestions other than eBay? Or anyone with mounting hardware / cradles that are willing to sell?

Thanks!

No cradle or hardware? One word, HOT.

Sounds like a sketchy seller to me. Did it include the software? Sorry, don't know offhand where to find the cradle, but will keep an eye out for you.

Where are you located? You can borrow my cradle for setup and mounting HW is easy.

Re: Just as a side note

I did find some info from the phathack.com website that talked about using a USB adapter directly on the drive. Since I work on PC's day in and day out, I may try to make a usb-ide adapter wired into the drive itself. I'm thinking a mini USB, then I can just attach the cable and go..... we shall see.

If it works, I'll document and share!
