Guest fluffcat1 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 In an earlier thread I mention I'd seen a USB enabled Hitachi stereo in DSG for £69.99 that allows you to browse and playback files stored on an mp3 / flash drive, and wondered if a bog standard smartphone would work with this feature. http://www.modaco.com/Using_a_smartphone_t...eo-t234445.html Haven't tried it yet... But playing with my i300 today I had a thought - this i300 has a 'usb mode' where the drive appears as a 3gb flash disk. In theory, this should allow the phone to act as a source of mp3's for these USB stereos even if a normal smartphone cannot ;) How cool is that? May well have to pop and buy one just to try this out.

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 Should plug straight into an XBox 360 to play tunes too ;) P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 I'm tempted by one of those car stereos that can play USB sticks... P
Guest fluffcat1 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 I'm tempted by one of those car stereos that can play USB sticks... P £49 quid too! FORTY NINE QUID! And it plays SD cards. If only I didn't have an Alpine 7" MD screen w/dvd nav, DVD changer, mp3 changer, TV tuner, Ps2 slim and ipod connection I'd buy one like a shot. I've paid more than £49 for a @*&%$£ Alpine cable. :evil: Richard
Guest fluffcat1 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 £49? Where? From t'other thread: Tevion car stereo: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=5849238072 Don't bid it too high, it was only 49.99 in aldi a couple of weeks ago ( not that I shop there :oops: - but they have silly low prices on stuff every thursday ) and your local branch may still have one. Richard They're all over ebay at £60 or so B-I-N prices, but check with your local Aldi frist as then you'll get a warranty. Richard.
