I have a 2005 stock headunit. I am interested in buying a Creative Zen Vision:m to play my thousands of tracks downloaded through my URGE subscription. Problem is that they won't play through the cd player as they are protected, but will play through the Zen. I need to find a solution to integrate as seamlessly as possible the Zen with my car's stereo system and be able to control it through the head unit controls (hopefully).

Has anyone done an install for something like this or know about Zen's and how to integrate them into a 2005 headunit? If necessary, I'm willing to scrap the stock headunit and go aftermarket. I'm not looking to go super expensive with this, but given that I'm willing to invest in a $300 mp3 player and possibly a new headunit, I'm definately not looking for an el cheapo solution.

 

Likely won't be able to control it with the HU. Best option is for an AUX input adapter. See the iPod sticky thread for options.

 

actually... the new kenwood decks are stepping up and making a direct plug for the creative stuff... like the regular ipod intrefaces already out for pioneer, alpine, jvc ect. you can control your creative through the radio.. go to your local kenwood dealer and they can help you out...
