USB blackbox for 308

Surprise in the blue box arrived today ...

No tax .... good!

Very simple ... a box and 2 cables:
Easy money eh ..

Getting started .. remove the bottom ashtray and rubber pad ... then u will see 4 torx ... just remove the 2 in the center will do.

After removing 2, lift up and remove the air-con controllers casing. Then pull out the additional shelf below the headunit.

Removal of the head unit using allen keys...

The connectors .. power, antenna ... and can bus for the player.

Will need to open up the connector and pull it out to plug in the connector, else will be very hard as it is very tight.

Testing stage ...

Major gripes, it does not show folder or file names .. you will have to guess where u are. This is the display it only shows ...the time funnel icon will keep on spinning and the WAIT is forever there. Loading is very fast after the initial can bus scanning which took around 30 seconds. It will be in debug mode (on display) when u first turn on..so dont be surprised.

I hide the blackbox under the open shelf ... just nice since the air-con console is empty.

Spot the usb?? .. i hide it underneath the steering.

The token slot in our passenger compartment now can be use to store usb sticks ...hehe.

Will i recommend it? .. well yeah, if you dont mind to browse in blind ...while retaining the OEM headunit. It would been better if there are at least indication of number of files and so forth - which i think will need some programming to be done at Nasim with the Planetary System. Sound quality is as good as the CD though - all in all a welcomed upgrade to my system. 4GB thumb will be just nice for the 594 mp3 files.
