link works better if you don't truncate the 'sp' from the end.

Anybody still use a tape player in there car?
Using a tape player to control my CD changer. Got a good deal in Halfords. After getting the Alpine screen, DVD and CD changer nicked from the car decided not to go with a pricey stereo until I get better security arranged.
But do you actually use tapes in it?

Umm.... well I was planning to listen to some of my old Iron Maiden tapes in it
Haven't tried them yet, not sure if they will still work. Hope they do!The article said:
For reasons of safety, the USB port will be kept away from the CD player, possibly in the glovebox. No-one wants drivers fiddling with a memory stick while driving down the motorway.
Cue legions of crashes caused as we all start fiddling in the glove box while driving. Bad idea, just have it near the head unit, surely it's no more difficult than changing a CD.

Buy a big enough stick and you'll have to change it about once a fortnight.

My housemate has one of these on order. I think he paid about £70 from Novatech or somewhere similar.
In fact UPS have just delivered i'll let you know how he gets on with it.
Thats the one my mum got.. Only cost her 80 quid too!
Its pretty good. Sound is ok... and the USB bit is very handy indeedy andy mac said:

I dare say it wont be long before WiFi headunits become available and you can upload tracks from your PC's mp3 collection without having to leave your car
Erm, a mate has had this for about 3 years.....
I dont believe you, more info please
I got a friend in my street who has hooked up a small 12v pc into his car complete with touchscreen, XP and USB WiFi and it all connects to his stereo.

Andy,
We're having trouble getting my housemates to work. Its going into a Mk2 Golf. Plugged it into the ISO blocks but we're not getting any power through to it.
I think the wires from the car into its ISO block aren't correct for this head unit. Did your mum's require any manipulation??
The other choice is to try it in my Golf (mk3) and see how we get on.
