[s-cars] Phatnoise/Phatbox...who wants it?

[ron kirkham]

Hey all,

I was cleaning out some boxes in the garage and came across this little
gem.  The Phatnoise/Phatbox is an MP3 player that VW/Audi made available for
a short time. Made by Kenwood, and also sold as "Music Keg", it
is essentially an MP3 player controlled by the stock head unit.  I beleive
Concert series head units and newer, but don't quote me on that.  (you
should do the research)  This unit came with my 95.5 S6A as a loose item in
the cargo area and was never installed.  I have the unit, cable, download
dock for use with your PC, and one cartridge of unknown storage capacity (up
to 40GB were available I think).

Since this item does not work with the stock head unit in the 95.5S6A, I
never pursued it's use.  I added a jack for the ipod via the CD changer and
never saw the need to add the Phatbox although the head unit controls and
track read-out informatino would be cool.

I do not have a means to test this item, and do not know if it actually
works, so I don't think it's fair to charge a fellow lister for it.  I would
ask any interested party to pay for the shipping, and that's it.

You want it? Say the word, and I'll send it on.
