Default Today only! cheap 20GB in-dash mp3 player ($139+$5shipping)

Your MP3 collection...on wheels? It’s more than just a beautiful dream. Simply install dis herre DMP1 Mobile Media Jukebox wherever you’d put a car CD changer, and wirelessly load it up with up to 20GB of music from your PC. Thanks to the auto sync feature, it can sit out in your garage and fetch the content you want while you’re snug in bed, like a faithful puppy without the mess. You’ll roll off to work every morning armed with a fresh batch of tunes, news, audiobooks, whatever – enough to keep you relaxed even through the Ventura Freeway’s nastiest traffic snarls. In a pinch, you can use the USB-equipped removable HDD (20 gigs, remember?) to shuttle data between home and work, or to grab your own copies of a friend’s killer collection of audio files (hey, what the recording industry’s lawyers don’t know won’t hurt you).

The butt-simple interface has been tested on chimpanzees to ensure ease of use (note: this claim is not endorsed by reality). And it’s crafted of durable heat-resistant plastic, so on summer days you won’t find a glob of grey goo where your DMP1 used to be.

The included USB-to-WiFi internet adapter is the mortar that holds the House of OmniFi together, the straw that stirs the OmniFi drink. Sure, you can run Cat-5 cable out to your garage – and maybe you already have. But the rest of us can use of the included DWL-121 WiFi Adapter for your car, made for Omnifi by D-Link.

Finally, we’ve thrown in some SimpleCenter software to quickly and reliably rip tracks from CD to MP3, and uncannily sniff out your media and label it with all the relevant discographical info. All told, that’s a car player, a wireless adapter, and you, burning up the highway with your stash of completely legitmate MP3s. Rock sensibly!

just copied from seller page. thought some here might be interested. I'm not related to the selling company in anyway, but they are a very reliable company to buy things from. They have daily offers on different things, and I"ve bought a couple of things from them before. So no worries.

ipod what? ipod connection why? all ipod connections except some kenwood thing(cost $200?) will NOT display song title info, most wont even be able to control from the head unit. WIFI? in your dreams~

I cant get it coz I'v got a navi.
I'm not even sure this thing will work with scion, and where to mount this extra face plate, hmm, beats me. Make sure you realize you do need the factory stereo to have this thing to work. so it's an add-on, not replacement. Seems it's saying you need an aux-in for this thing to work? but scion stereo doesnt have aux in, right?
so I think this thing works the best for those who replaced factory stereo with a DIN receiver

guess just something fun to look at, wifi hard drive in dash player, wow. dunno if anyone can actually get this thing to work with scion.

that does look cool ... not sure how cost effective it is compared to a 20 gig portable player .. i know its harder to use and ya have to connect it to yer system through a line out and stuff .. but id rather save myself the $ .. even tho the thing advertised is less $ then what i paid for my player .. it was better then 1000 dollars for a 16 gig by alpine at the time ... not sure the quality of somethin that low cost ...
