W.I.P. My ICE install..

support? it makes no difference? commericialised crap technology!! lol sorry i really :mad: hate ipods

if it really was crap technology, it never would have taken off and become the most used piece of kit in its field. Granted, the styling is alot of the reason for buying, but if it didnt work, it wouldnt have been successful, simple as that.

Using an ipod for such a purpose would be just as effective as any other device, just pick one to your budget and tastes. Whatever it is you use though, it needs to be easy to use - and afaik most independent reviews show that the ipod has a really simple interface compared to others.

Also - because the ipod is so popular, it is correct to assume that there are those out there who will have butchered and hacked it in every conceivable way - so if you need help on ripping it apart and adapting its use, there WILL be something online somewhere.

Exactly what I was trying to say... just better lol

I've used a creative zen and its not very user friendly. I also have a iRiver thing that holds around 8000 songs which is also the same.. a right pig to use.

I actually prefer my Creative Zen Touch over the Ipod I had, just personal preference. If you can see beyond a products aesthertics and see if it suits you then go with it.

The reason for using an ipod is because you can buy a ipod - RCA lead from comet for about ?15, there isnt any other that you can!

My archos mp3 connects to my birds headunit!

L

and those leads cost me ?8.99.....good ol discount

L

my head unit came with a simple jack in for any mp3 player, and im glad youv got an archos pal give yerself a pat on the back, i had my 20gb colour screen, avi playin video camera archos well before anybody had heard the horrible word Ipod! anyway im sure it will sound look good whatever mp3 player you use but check out the archos site anyway theyv just released some new ones
