Yes I remember seing that (they dont make them anymore) It was a 1 din unit with a built in hard drive, they made like 500. Let me google it.

Edit: Its called Eclipse(the brand).

yah is pretty cool, these stupid ipod and everything have 450megs a second via USB2.0 or 400megs a sec with firewire but for some reason stupid 150megs a sec via IDE bus is faster? I don't get it. I sware usb speeds are a joke and the same with firewire.

Why do these mp3 players have to send one song at a time and not just a group dump such as with harddrive data. It is really annoying and painfully slow to own one of these ipod things. I have tried the Flash players and Harddrive ones, both are unacceptable unless you are a kindergarden teacher.

Here is one http://www.estone-tech.com/

And if you are gonna be complaining about the USB/Firewire speeds vs. ATA speeds, you might want to do some research on the matter. If you think that getting a hard drive based car player will help you avoid the "slow" USB/Firewire interface, you are gonna be in for a surprise. All those hard drives are removable and are connected through a USB port.
