Cool looking forward to this.....

Import you going back to the stock stereo?

If so I am interested in buying your new stereo...would look good in one of my boats...also easier to control tunes...

Yes, I'm only doing them in groups. If you want one, get your order in now as I had one person drop out and I already have everything on the way. First person to pay gets their spot in line. After that, it's wait until we get more people lined up again which at the rate this has been going, I don't think I will be spending the time on it again after this one. I said this last time but then had so many people ask how they could get one I offered it again only to be disappointed in the turn out just as I was last time.

Also, everything plugs in behind the radio. It gets it's power from the radio so it's literally plug and play and everything plugs into the back of the radio.

The cables are long enough that you can put it in the glove box, the center console storage or the passenger side map net. It does not come with a mount.

Got parts in and something has been changed. I will update when I get the right parts in and they are ready to ship. I apologize for any inconvenience.

One spot still open. Click HERE to make your purchase. I'm working on getting the right parts so we're probably still a week out and then shipping to everyone that ordered them. I hate giving hard dates as it just never works out the way you want it to.

I looked through all 10 pages of this thread and couldn't find any info on operation of the USB drive. I don't care for iPod/iPhone (I love my Android-based device), but USB option is very interesting. So here are a couple of questions:

1. What is the maximum capacity of supported USB drive? (can I use like a hundred-Gig USB harddrive?)
2. Please list which buttons on the front panel are available with USB drive. In particular how does the navigation works? Can I select Next/Previous file? Next/Previous Folder? Fast Forward/Backward? Playlist support? Etc.
3. Does it remembers the last track (or even better, the last part of the track) was it playing before turning off the ignition, to resume at the previous position?

P.S. I'm a Software Developer and can easily write an app for Android-based phones to support any custom functionality...

I apologize that I haven't posted an update yet. Had some issues with the last batch that I'm working through. I'm out of town this week for work so I can't do anything with them until the weekend. Hoping to have everything figured over the long weekend though. I will email you all tracking info when they ship but I want to make absolutely sure they are 100% right before sending them out.

Thanks

I didn't. I'm not putting anyone off and I apologize for the setback. I will work on it this weekend and I appreciate everyone's patience.
