I have been thinking about this and as long as you use a FLASH drive and have RCA inputs on your in car system then there is no problem.
You could also update the music collection via wiFi when parked on your drive. Caveats... 1. A HD drive may smash the heads into the platters going over bumps unless properly mounted. 2. The device runs off 5V so will have to be regulated down. 3. Check the standby current when off. It could flatten your battery if not driven. I have not measured it, but 3.6W in standby (posted here elsewhere) will completely flatten a 50Ah car battery in a week (and stuff your car battery in the process). It will not fully recover from a deep discharge. If your music collection is small, then you could turn off completly as a power on rescan should be quickish. -- Waldo Pepper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Waldo Pepper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39029 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80255 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
