[Aaron Taylor]

Thanks for the info
Is the music stored as MP3 files or multiple cd's?

the Phat Box is a digital music player which has voice prompting for
menus. this overcomes the limited display modes of the Audi radios (in
theory). in practice, it takes some getting used to and also some
careful planning as to how you organize your music on the cratridge.
once you install the Phat Box, you no longer have a CD player but
rather can have 20GB of digital music from which to choose.

the Phat Box will not work with other Audi radios. the good news is
that used Concert 1 radios are cheap and easy to connect (to the 95.5s
at least) - run new CD changer cable and reconnect one wire at the
radio head end.

if I had to do it again this morning, it would take me all of 30
minutes to complete. (such is the reality of DIY jobs).
