i dont think the older head units and dashboards supported anything more than cd info, not too sure on the fl models.


You can get the phatnoise software running with vista in xp compatibility mode and running as administrator.

And if you use Phathack Media Manager it works fine with Vista

Yeah,

If you go to the phathack website I'm sure there's a link to the media manager site. Just beware it's only an alpha build at the moment but it works OK on my PC.

I use PhatHack too, but sometimes you need to go back to the proper PhatNoise manager.

The voice prompts are cool (if a little quiet), so you don't have to remember which playlist is which.

Default But if you do want to buy a Phatnoise....

....they're £125 plus £10 postage, new, from a vag dealer on fleabay. Looks like they're selling off old stock

If you don't have any other unit, I'd go with a phatnoise as you can drop a bigger HDD in there too.

Also, you can take the iPod into the house

dont buy a phatnoise just yet. i think tony has been very busy this week as he has been sorting things out for the german meet this weekend. if he doesnt have time to reply shortly then i will ask him tomorrow. i also was going to buy a phatnoise but when tony told me some details about this other item i thought it best to wait. all i know is that it works like a phatnoise with full control from the head unit. it is card based so all you need is a card reader in your pc and he thinks its only about 30 quid. i am seeing tony tomorrow so i will find out as much detail as possible.
