Congrats on the purchase.

For the D3 audio, you are pretty much stuck as far as the system itself goes. The whole thing uses a fibre optic databus, BT Audio is not supported in any shape or form. Same with speakers really as well, and the phatbox is definitely not supported.

I bought the AMI retrofit kit from ebay, and fitted that. Using AMI you can connect USB powered HDDs, Ipods, USB sticks etc. I have a 500GB drive plugged in all the time, and its been faultless.
