hi guys

i need some help deciding on what route to go down with my new head unit 8)

i've just brought my G40, the stereo in it is useless so i'm gonna get a new head unit.

Originally i always just thought i'd buy a headunit with an ipod interface so i could connect that up and that was simple.

Whilst browsing though i stumbled accross USB HU's which i'd not seen before, seems to be able to just plug in a flash drive and your away which i like the idea of as my ipod is only a 1GB so means i can have more songs.

Door number 3 seems to be an external hard drive which i never really considered affordable but here it is...

i like the concept of the hard drive but i've heard a few problems with this system e.g scan times for the HU and drive to sycronise the files, plus my car has a pretty rough ride with the lowering kit so i'm hesitant about the mechanical bits holding up to the bumps :lol:

any help would be much apreciated as i'm a bit clueless when it comes to ICE :D

cheers tom 8)

had a look on there and the hard drive option seems pretty good to me, so i think i'll have to treat my new car to a new HU & hard drive combo when i get paid next month :twisted:
