decisions decisions, graduation present so i need to decide. i like the phatbox idea b/c it keeps the stock look to the car but aftermarket, i could get probably a dvd player or nice hu. what do you'll think, aftermarket dvd/lcd unit or phatbox or nice cd player? would be in a6 sedan. do you'll have pics if you have a dvd player in one? thanks!

I replaced amp, front speakers and sub and still left the factory HU. There's something to be said for the integrated look of the factory set up. It's also a lot less appealing to thieves. Just put the phatbox in my car and love it. With the 20GB cartridge ripping at 192, I was able to fit 280 CDs of music!

unless you already have an mp3 player. Then simply connect that.

the recent price reduction on Phat makes it that much more attractive

so it seems if i go to phatbox, i'll get it off of ebay being it's so much cheaper.

or, perhaps clairparts.com

if you've decided on phat, don't give up!. . . it seems like a good deal now.
