MP3 Player Yet?
Anyone do a MP3 player install in the TT yet? Either a cd player with MP3 deocder or dedicated (hard drive type) player? I have been looking at these buggers since the Empeg car player was being developed, about 3 years ago. If anyone has any info on this, I would be interested.

yes, just installed a PhatBox
I'm the first one to get a PhatBox- I'm beta-testing it for them with the stock Audi head-unit.
Basically, the PhatBox has a 6GB removable drive cartridge, and replaces the CD changer. It pretends to be a CD changer to the Audi Concert head-unit, except it has up to 99 disks with up to 99 tracks on each one. You define the 'disks' as playlists, effectively, using desktop software (it comes with a cradle).
It basically replaced the standard CD changer behind the seat. Quite rad -- I don't think I've even thought about FM radio since I got it installed a few days ago.<ul><li><a href="http://www.phatnoise.com">PhatNoise, the makers of the PhatBox</a></li></ul>
