ok, so i want to get the Kenwood KHD-CX910 Music Keg. the only thing i am concerened about is that inorder for it to be used in my car, i would need the KCA-R70FM adapter so i can add it to any stereo that has an FM radio. wouldnt that adapter make it sound like crap? what other options do i have?

BEETROOT

yes, it would sound like crap.

upgrade your deck and get one that can play mp3 cds

or I believe you can add an mp3 player to the stock deck with a blitzsafe adaptor, but I'm not sure how that works. there are threads about it in the AV/electronics section.

well, i like the stock headunit and the headunit i have in mind is $1k+ so that aint gonna happen for a while. besides, with this i wont have to carry around any of my 200+ cd's.

thanks for the input though.

BEETROOT

hook up an ipod or a dell jukebox or something into the stock head unit...

I love my Neo Car Jukebox. Approaching 2500 songs and only used 12 of the 20 gigs. For $299 I honestly can't think of any MP3 solution on the market that can touch it. Car bay.... PC bay... the HD in a portable housing which slides into either bay.... wired remote that runs from the Car bay to wherever you want in the cabin... and mini infared remote to control the wired remote. $399 would get you 80 gigs but I can't even fathom having that many songs. $75 Blitzsafe adapter allows you to hit the CD button twice which goes to "CD1" and voila, aux input source. Pics in my sig below.

awesome, i had no idea there were so many options.

car_lost

i was jusr checking it out and that looks even better than the kenwood one. i have a few questions though... for it to sound as good as possible with my stock headunit and stock speakers what do i need? just the blitzsafe adapter and thats it?

in order for the IR remote control (the one they sell) to work, do i need to have the Wired LCD Remote installed as well?

in the future can i expand the hard drive?

BEETROOT

that neo looks cool...

but for $279 you can get a 20gb dell jukebox

which may or may not be better...thats what I got though because its portable.

car_lost

yea i checked it out too... but im only looking for something for my car... i wouldnt have any use for a portable one.

Get the blitzsafe adapter, there is a link in the AV area for where I bought mine and got it within two days and they were nice enough to immediately ship a new one once they sent the wrong one.

I think I paid 68$ in total...

derelict

Blitzsafe is the way to go if you want to just add an aux input to your stock head unit. The IR remote works with just the HD caddy too... if you were to mount that somewhere in the cabin. It's just a HD inside, so ya, you can swap any HD you want as long as it's under 120 gigs which I think is the max anyone has successfully used.

I've heard derelict's car with his Neo and I can say the sound quality is great. It is definitely something I plan on getting down the road.

car_lost

thanks a lot for your input. good to know i can expand it in the future if i want too.

as for the remote... do i need to have the LCD remote mounted on the inside or can i just forget about it?

derelict

Where would you put the main HD inside the cabin? The IR remote control needs line-of-sight to the either the LCD remote, or the front of the HD itself.

blitzsafe adapter + portable MP3 player = you are set

ok, thats exactly what i wanted to know. thanks a lot for your help bro, and everyone else too.
