I finally gave up on the idea because you are going to be replacing
all the capacitors before you start. I am using commercial in dash
players now and they all suck, including the $1000 one in the Lincoln.

You spent $1000 to get a music player in your car?

Really?

Gosh, I just use a $10 cable to plug an iPhone or iPod into the car stereo.

I guess that Vega you have doesn't have a factory sound system with an
MP3 player, 6 pack CD, Nav and blue tooth to your phone.

Actually, my car has all of that, sans the 6 pack CD player. I prefer
the separate garmin nav device, and I also have 3 nav apps on my iphone,
including garmin usa. My iPhone also has 4000+ tunes on it, a tad more
than you can squeeze onto six CDs.

I don't think we have actually listened to a CD for 10 years but it is
there. This thing has a USB port that will take a 32g thumb drive but
you can get more on a 4g than we usually have in a typical play list.

I can talk to my iphone and it talks back. I don't accept incoming calls
when I am driving, unless it is my wife...and I don't listen to web
casts.

My wife listens to Bob and Tom on the way to work.
It is not broadcast here so she pulls it off the web.
It bluetooths from the phone.

Everything is hands free on the phone if you do take a call.

I think if we were interested in things to do entertainment-wise while
in the car, I'd get an iPad Air and a dash mount. You can even make
phone calls from an iPad using one of several apps, such as Skype. But
we don't often spend more than an hour or two in the car.
