Seriously there trying too much on the looks and its just getting ugly now.]]>Jan 12th 2006 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/Jan 12th 2006 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/


On another note, how hard is it to put in a frikkin LCD/pixel-based display?!! The segments look like crap, IMHO ...

"Car stereo manufacturer Dual is one of the first to show off Microsoft PlaysForSure technology in a head unit, giving MP3 players, as well as iPods, full car integration."



Evidently the ipod isn't an mp3 player...



Anywho, I like the concept, don't dig the looks. Simple and understated would be preferable to me, rather than "hey, you! break the window and steal me!"]]>Jan 13th 2006 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/




Ugly head units are something I've been frustrated over for 5 years now. I think it's because after MP3CD support, they ran out of places to innovate. Even built-in amp technology has seemed to have hit a wall. Now with every new release they can only try to make the unit LOOK "cooler". Though as already mentioned, they don't seem to realize that a dot-matrix LCD would do WONDERS, instead of the segmented LCDs most of the units have. The cleanest unit I've seen recently was a touch-screen Panasonic that's black glass when powered off and a colored dot-matrix LCD when on. They need to update that product line, and I'm all over it.]]>Jan 13th 2006 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/Jan 18th 2006 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/http://www.dualav.com/press/2006/1.html]]>Jan 18th 2006 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/12/dual-electronics-head-unit-adapter-combo-integrates-playsforsur/Feb 2nd 2006 8:51PM
