Well my friends, I did a temporary install just now (basically just pulled the head unit, and plugged the PhatBox. This could have not been any easier. It's plug and play. You can control the unit from your OEM unit. I'm so exited I couldn't wait to share the good news with you. Now all I have to do is take it to get professionally installed. This means basically running the cable from the back of the unit to the trunk, or behind one of the seats, and fasten the unit. I don't trust myself running the cable, as I I'm pretty good at taking things apart, but not as confident putting them back together again.
So in summary, the PhatBox works with our unit, as long as it's an OEM w/NAV. It's the version for Becker Traffic Pro. If anyone is interested, I'll hook you up with the guy who sold me mine. My price was $350.00 delivered. It has a 20 GB drive, that can be upgraded up-to 120 GB, and software to manage your music, and a cradle to hook up to your PC. But, 20 GB can hold a library of 10s of thousand songs. This is a great alternative to a CD changer, or Ipod connector.
MMZ, Iamfink2, Infinity, and Roy, thanks for all your help.
