I got mine HD Radio installed over the weekend. I recieved my cable today (thanks Mitch). I cant wait to see it running on my computer. Now the problem is I fried my harddrive. Wired the IDE cable to the harddrive incorrectly. If anyone can help please reply to the post below.

IDE to Mini IDE Question

Once again thanks for the quick delivery Mitch. I am so excited to get it working. The reciever alone sounds awesome.

For the HD Radio, I see that there are 2 HD units you can buy....... do both use the same software and drivers or does each have its own? I ask because I know they will be working on a plugin for the Visteon HDZ300 for CF, but I'd prefer the cheaper one, my CarPC install is already way over budget

PS: Mitch I see under XM there is nothing. Do you make serial cables for the XM direct at all? If yes, I would like to buy one...

Mitch, still no luck and not alot of time to work beacuse of teachers cramming before spring break. All of the above has not worked for me so i have no idea what is up.

The HD tuner is by far the best AM/FM solution, and this is coming from someone who has tried them all including the expensive/rare HQCT module. In fact I own 2 HD tuners and am in the process of adding the second to my home theater PC.

Also, just a FYI, the Visteon unit is actually a standalone tuner that has been reverse engineered (by mitch) to allow PC interfacing.

Does someone have a link of a webshop who sales a good Visteon HD tuner and ships internationaly?
And is it possible to integrate it in Centrafuse?

The visteon and the (can't remember the name of the other) are the same unit but "rebadged".

Both work fine with the rr plugin and mitch's software.

David (creater of CF), is going to be working on a plugin. He says he has purchased the Visteon and Mitch's cable, so im sure it will be avaliable soon. He said he wants to get CF v1.48 out first before working on it. Go to Fluxmedia.net and check out the forums, it has everything you want to know.

PS: Thanx for the info GreatWhite
