[s-cars] Blaupunkt MDP-01 Compatibility - NOT COMPATIBLE :-(

[matt ludwig.]

just observing this interesting thread and NOT to cast me as a  
disbeliever, but. . .

why not just get an iPOD @ 5-10, even 15gB worth of data capacity and  
use either the iTrip FM transmitter accessory or the hard-wired car  
dock and call it a day? now, i am an un-apologetic apple fan and do  
love to see OEM parts tuned for all they can be efficient for, but i  
see some serious headaches in the future to re-map the firmware of the  
BOSE head unit of the s-car.

probably not even $0.01 worth,

matt ludwig.
