Perhaps it could have a USB host port for connecting and navigating files stored on a mass storage compliant mp3 player ala XBox 360.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/

#12 -- It's the employees that choose to work there. Consumers can't do crap to Wal-Mart. Boycott it all you want. Run around with picket signs until you're blue in the face, but until people stop applying for jobs at Wal-Mart nothing is going to change.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/

I totally agree! If this had a front audio input jack, I think I might have picked on up! This would have been a very nice and inexpensive solution for those with mp3 players....]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/becker traffic pro 7945 (compact flash up to 4 GB, bluetooth sync with my phone, navigation..)
costs way more the ilo, but even so...
jvc and friends make the exad line of mp3 based in dash radio's and these little beasts support sd based mp3, touch screen and aux input for all your other media player needs, end the cost? from 199 up..
No cheap a$$ "audio"brand is going to sound like a premium brand it's all in the quality of the amplifiers.. they just soud like crap..]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/
What's great about this product is the price. It'll lure most Americans into stores. Then, when they see that this is YACPOS (yet another chinese POS), they'll realize quality does matter.

Eventually even Wal-Mart shoppers will become disgusted by massive Chinese product vomit...

Hmm...my Walmart has Lady managers and many many people who seem to be genuinely happy to HAVE A JOB! Noone can be completely happy when working, however I find the constant bashing of Walmart to be shill rhetoric. In alot of cases, I personally have seen businesses spring up around WalMart with unique things WalMart would never carry.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/
PS

It doesn't have a color screen, but it looks nicer than this, please WMA/MP3 CD's, full ID3 tag support, has a SD slot, remote control, Sirius compatible, has RCA inputs on the back (aux in) and JVC has ipod interface units, etc.

Sound quality is decent and it has a fully adjustable parametric EQ as well as a built-in electronic crossover. (with a bunch of presets and three sep user profiles ... which are uniqu to each input...)

I'm using it with JL-Audio amps in my Mazda MP3 and the best thing is the RGB adjustable screen so it matches my car's gauge color exactly. The old Kenwood that came in my car was bright blue with the car's gauges being orange.

Oh, if anyone wonders, the JVC can also FF/REW though MP3 files -- and it does resume right where you left off if you shut the car off/turn off the head unit. A lot of aftermarket units can do either.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/30/ilo-in-dash-mp3-cd-player-with-lcd-and-sd-slot-for-under/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM
