Well I sure as hell do.

RS232 is NOT LPT, Printer, IEEE1284.

RS232 is a signaling standard used with
serial ports. It can come in many forms
and connectors, including both 25 and
9 pin serial (COM) ports.

I just thought of this today. My first thought was a flash reader that could play mp3's and be controlled by the HU, built right into the dash like an EQ size unit. I have a 2002 Alpine 7839 <- i think that's right. But when i got to thinking....(side tracked).....i built a carputer which i run carmedia

not being updated any more

and i dont really watch movies when i drive anyways. If I could control winamp with the Alpine head unit that would be great. I'm not sure if SPAINTRA is still reading this forum. But if he has any AI-net pinout info and/or timming information it would be great if he could post it here!!!!!!!!! I guess i could e-mail him.

I'm very sperMatic on what I build, arcade with mame, carputer, remote tank, auto tunning guitar, etc. etc. But i work with a bunch of software engineers that might help me figure out how to talk to ai-net. I'm going to try myself. SPERmATIC....No Guarantee! ( not sure about the m in sperMatic microsoft seems to think its spelt that way.

Just trying find out is MRA-D550 amp will be a good choice for CarPC integration. Is it possible to control it from PC itself? Will it able to communicate trough S/PDIF interface?

Very appreciate your help.
