My friend was asking me if I knew about any type of car mp3 player, that allows you to store the mp3s on the player in some way. Memory sticks, possibly a hard drive. I dont know. Maybe just a way to plug in your iPod straight to the stereo. I probably sound very ignorant with how I am wording this but I don't really know anything about car systems, and things like that in general. Any help would be nice, thanks.

I'm pretty sure they have stuff like that available, in fact, very similar to what you described. There are some that use memory sticks, and others that use some kind of portable hard drive. I believe some technology is available so that you can update your car stereo's hard drive via a wireless connection to your computer. There are also car stereos available that read mp3 cds.

Yah, I know about the mp3 car stereos. Those are pretty common. That's crazy about the updating your hard drive via wireless. Anyways, thanks.

Heyas.

There is indeed a wide variety of devices available for such things.

I somewhat work with these devices. Of course I also spend time browsing them (although not as much as I'd like to).

As Heavy Metal Man stated, there are different types of hard drives (in addition to memory sticks) that you can stick in cars. They make hard drives that fit in enclosures that act like normal head units, plus types that can be hooked up other ways.

One in particular is Neo's Car Jukebox: http://www.ssiamerica.com/products/neo35/index.shtml

It hooks up USB to a computer. It comes in 20, 40, 80, and 120 GB versions.

I am mentioning this one because it is the most recent type I bought.
