With all those Ipod integration to our radio, mp3 and stuff, is there a single or double din head unit that is capable of recording, storing misic out from the original CD, or transfer from pc/notebook(usb,etc.)?
if you know something please fill me up.
thanks

 

umm... i think the new top line eclipse deck (not sure of model #) double din w/dvd/navigation w/built in 30gig harddrive can rip cd's straight onto it...
other than that... phatnoise.com has a unit that acts like a cd changer but can rip cd's on pc and store on cartridge.. up to 80gigs i think is what they are up to... but that unit starts at about 500$... i think there are a couple other units out there that also can store music on built in harddrive but not sur of brand or model info

 

that is kinda what i'm looking for. a double din H/U that has an ample amount of storage(hard drive), and has a copy and play capability, sort of like an ipod built in inside the H/U.
any website you can direct me is most appreciated.
thanks,
sid
