My C750 is currently on its way from Japan, and I'm already trying to think of ways to connect it to my car stereo.
Here's what I have to work with:
* Sony Xplod CD receiver (can't remember the model number)
*
Sony XA-300 Unilink AdapterHere are my two ideas of how I might be able to use the
Ratoc CFU1 adapter with it:
1. Use the CFU1 to connect to the XA-300's USB input. In theory, this would give me pure digital audio through my car stereo. However, I don't know if the Z's kernel would support it, or how I would get a media player to use that device for audio output.
2. Use the CFU1 to connect an external hard drive. I read somewhere on this board that someone tried this and it worked. The only problems I see would be how to power it, and whether to use a 2.5" or 3.5" drive. I assume that a 2.5" would be the better choice.
Idea #1 would give me pure digital audio, but I would be limited to how much I can store on my SD card.
Idea #2 would give me analog audio, but I could have up to 80GB (or whatever size drive I could afford) of storage.
I'm leaning more towards #2.
Has anyone tried anything like this yet?
