Completely agree with all your reasoning, uhf, and share your experiences, but yes, trouble is nobody seems to have bought one...

I'll report back with a full review once i've got one, might be a little while, getting car Friday and intend to get used to driving it and make sure i've run it in properly and then i'll start looking at fitting the sound system and maybe some engine mods

i've got one in my Octy vRS with the 20Gb cartridge unit.

have no problem with it at all,it never skips and the PC program(PhatNoise) is a doddle to use.

i have nearly got all my collection on it and still have over approx 10Gb left to fill up.

i would recommend getting the best head unit you can afford as it makes the accessing of tracks far easier.

you'll have to spend at least a day sorting through your music and placing it in "Disc's"

this is how you access your albums etc.

its all very well explained in the manual provided.

i have to admit though having spoken to Andy_CCR if you want to eventually have SAT-NAV its very expensive to upgrade with Kenwood.

i am considering changing my system to the Pioneer X1.

but insurance is coming up and so is CHRISTMAS!!!!!

any questions just ask.

Does the Phatnoise 20gb interface directly with a kenwood head unit then? when you go to thier website they give you different ones which are for pre-installed HU's and the kenwood specific one takes you to the kenwood keg.

Also do you have a uk supplier for phatnoise stuff?

Just got a novatech mp3 player from www.novatech.com and its 20gig for

to upload more data to the Keg cartridge you have a docking station which connects to your home PC by USB,you load your songs into your computer using the Phatnoise program,make a "disc" then upload onto the cartridge.
