Hmm. That doesn't look like it's going to be very affordable. That's a lot of hardware. Wonder if it'll be at a reasonable price point or not.

Wow, after further inspection...that IS a lot of equipment. I bet it will cost as much as the damn upgraded stereo. I shouldn't criticize the cuisine before it is served, however I have a feeling.

Not that bad

doesn't look like that much stuff. The little aluminum box looks to be about 4"x1"x2" judging by the size of the USB port on it. All you'd need to connect for the ipod is power, MOST fiber and the iPod connector. Then it's up to you to install any or none of the clips.

Looks like the electronics in the unit also allow you to play MP3s from any USB hard disk device or even a USB thumb drive, which is kind of neat!

Considering I paid muchos for the car, I don't really care how much this kit costs... I'm tired of listening to the same CD over and over, or to annoying DJ's in the morning...

Porsche is listed as launching end of June (no year specified, but let's assume it's 2006 this time!)

You do know you can change the CD, right? I paid big bucks for the car, I'm paying big bucks to have Reus Systems redo the stereo, but I'm not sure I can stomach paying an exorbitant amount of money for this. If it comes out under $400, maybe.

edit: Did I really write "absorbitant"!? Man I must've been tired.
