should be here today. and as easy to install as plugging it in the cd changer cable.    (any wood around to knock on?)   i grabbed mine on ebay, new for $250.  phatnoise site sells em for more than twice that! ill try to snap some nifty pics when i install it.

2 thumbs way up!  couldnt be easier to install and get working! plugs right into the cd changer cable and your done.  the thing even speaks the artist name etc, while navigating thru the files.

I been eyeing one for a long time, the knewood music keg version.
Glad to hear someone else is running one now, relieves some anxiety.
Might have to get around to buying one eventually

yeah, so far im very impressed with how nice everything works. i need to brush up on the menu navigation mentods, cause right now, im just scrolling thru a list of the cd or playlist titles ive loaded. but u can browse by genre also. but i dont have cd-text on my stereo, so i can only browse by the voice prompts. and it doesnt know how to pronouce "Phish" very well hehehe  

whats nice is, apparently, even tho they sell different versions for different cars,  you can use any phatnoise box in any car with a simple firmware upgrade, and adapter cable for your particular car. like ebay only seems to have a bunch of VW phatnoise boxes, and for cheap. so u can just upgrade the firmware and get the cable you need for another car and be fine.

the only thing is, i THINK the phatnoise box only works with factory stereos.
