Seemingly on a path of go fast techno junkie I am, so how about inventing
something for urS cars that would make them so cool, so advanced, way out
there? Something so unbelievably remarkable, it is sure to bring ooooo's and
ahhh's from all who see it? Something beyond alcantara, recaro's and as
necessary as the V1. An accessory not yet standard or even offered as an
option on the finest Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche, or any other car in the
world?
How about making our three useless console sluggs into a flip up entryway
that opens to a soft blue alcantara lined semi secret compartment containing
a juke box that holds your ENTIRE music library? That's right "Jim"
(generically speaking and apologies to all list Jim's out there,) I'm talking
mp3 player. But not just any mp3 player, but "the" mp3player- an Ipod.
Check out this video:

2,000 songs, 4 inches high x 2.4 w x 3/4" deep. Lists all your songs.
Scroll with your thumb and bring up songs by title, artist or playlist. ee
zzz!
This could be a Hapersize (tm) music system. How bout this?

What's needed to do this?
1.) Windows version due out in 4 weeks. Unless yu're Mac already.
2.) How to neatly tap into the cars power supply.
3.) FM transmitter I believe part of the $50 Dr Bott pkg. OR
4.) Hard wire into the bose would be real nice, but is it possible?
5.) Home Depot solution for making the storage box and the balls to cut out
the two plastic pillars between the sluggs.
6.) A lightly spring loaded take up reel to tension the wires when the unit
is pulled our.
And yes I know mp3 sucks, and bose sucks say many, but to my sucky ears they
sound fine. And this ease of use and tactile fun are hard to beat. Let your
date play DJ while enjoying the comfort and speed of quattro turbo madness :)
Forget GP's. Apple dont discount for nobody:(
Whattya think?
Bill m - I'll write the BTDT if someone can tell answer no.'s 2 and 4 above.
BTW -I know you geezers out there are sayin whaaa? huhhh? But as my college
age kids have taught me mp3 is very cool. You'll see sooner or later, so why
not sooner.
Oh yeah and downside is you gal's gonna want one too.
