should be alright mate, I was looking at one of those but went for the Blaupunkt one with an 80gig HD just to be different, all my stereos have always been kenwood...

Have you really got a need for all that storage?

Must like your music. I found I was pushed to fill a DVD-R

it's a bit "billy big button" if you get what I mean but does the job nicely...

The Blaupunkt ones are less picky about what drives you use with them, the kenwood struggles with 2.5" drives apparently. I would go for the more expensive Kenwood USB units though to get the the 'AC Drive system'. It audibly tells you what folder you are in so you need never look at the head unit when driving.

Cheers for that, so perhaps this mifght be more suitable?
