Just bought me an mStation MP3 jukebox HDD device, looks cool, can't wait to fit it, my girlfriends bringing it round tonight, just bought it off her dad for £135, brand new in box. Deal! 10 gig of storage, and will probably use the FM modulator cos haven't got any RCA in's on my head unit... :curse:

Where'd he get it for that price, or is that a secret ;)

Yeah i'll post all the pics up, shouldn't be too hard to fit.

 

It came from www.6thplanet.co.uk who're the main dealers, and he bought it ages ago, they're still sellin the same ones on there if you guys are interested. They start at about £150 odd and go up for the size of the disc you want. I only got about 20 gig of mp3 on my computer so 10 will do fine, reckon the quality should be ok, he had it fitted in his merc with the FM mod, and it sounded great. He only sellin it to me cos i asked him if he wanted it, and he bought it as a replacement for one he thought was broke... but wasn't. Bit confusin really! Think he paid over £200 for it when he bought it, still sealed and everything. You can still buy em, but they're reduced now cos they're trying to get rid of their stock. Its the cheapest one anywhere, the lowest price you can get anything else for is a kenwood one i think? £400+! So they're good value.

 

Interfacin i think you only need an IDE slot free, well, i hope anyway! Might have to RAID my HDD's cos I not sure if i can fit 5 IDE's on a standard Motherboard.

 

Gimme a shout if you decide to buy one cos i should be able to help, me girlfriends dad reckoned he'd help me stick it in the cpmputer and stuff.

 

Post the pics when i done it.

 

:D :D

Matt.

Could u let me know once its installed how good the display interface is? Like is it easy to move between songs, if it can use folders and if it displays them in a long list and whether u gotta keep clickin loads to move it down the list.

 

Any1 know if you can get a steering wheel mounted controls with possibly a scroll wheel like on a mouse.

 

Been thinking about putting a whole computer in my car to run mp3s but may change for this, would b wicked if it could run videos from it as well to a tv screen.

been humming and arghing about an mstation for a while purely because of fm modulator quality.good for selection of music though ,if u have rca inputs do u think it misses the modulator out,i could control it through my screen h/u maybe :thumb:

I know for a fact you can't control it through your screen head unit...

 

As for the RCA's, if you have RCA in's you don't need the FM modulator, and the FM modulator only connects to the RCA outs on the back of the Mstation anyways.

 

So you're sorted, buy one matey!
