Alternatives to the ipod/headunit combo


Recommended Posts

from what I have read, you have to have a hd in fat16 or fat32, you need to run a 1.5 hd if you want to directly plug in play to your usb port. if you have a 3.5 then you have to power the hard drive from a secondairy sorce. on all of that you have very little controll other then volume down if you dont want to hear a song and only plays in order of how they were written on the hd. I am not sure how ssd are with that for I did not find any info. for a regular hd you will have issues from bumps and what not while driving and cause the spindle and such to crash inside wipeing it out.

I use a thumbdrive and I just split songs up into folders

I spent around $180 for my radio and a 16 gig thumbdrive. I love it. I have a Pioneer Deh 6300ub

Do you have to have an onstar adapter in GM's or can you just say screw it and not put one in?

Anyone know of a headunit that works good with 16gig SD cards or thumb drives, and has 4 volt preouts/ 5 band eq/ 3 sets of preouts for under $250?

Sorry to revive such an old thread but there's alot of misinfo here so I just wanted to clarify. I have a cda-117 and it recognizes and plays music off my 320gb 2.5" external hd just fine. It will break it up by album/artist/song etc. so long as its tagged right. I am having an issue with file structure go I have to work that out....I just assumed I could simply copy my entire music folder which is organized by artist/album/songs but of the 10k songs I have loaded on it, the deck is only seeing about 250....so I gotta figure out the file structure it likes and make the necessary changes.

My drive is a Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0, no external power supply needed and my decks powers up the drive just fine. The road I drive to work is kinda rough and I had no issue at all this morning with skipping music. My deck does bank music in blocks of 1000 and that banking takes a while but I can listen to music while thats going on so no worries there. So hopefully I can get my music collection arranged in a way the deck likes this weekend and be good to go.
