I know my Empeg will not last foreverWhy wouldn't it?
Pioneer, SOny, Alpine and Kenwood already have a "Empeg Like" deviceYeah, but they all suck.

yn0t_ WINS!Okay, I just had to tell one of my coworkers with a straight face that a it was compilation error message that made me bust out laughing very loudly during work hours.
I know my Empeg will not last forever and Pioneer, SOny, Alpine and Kenwood already have a "Empeg Like" deviceTo my knowledge, the Empeg is the only pull out unit with RCA outs, correct? Even the "mk3" won't be a pull out, if I remember that thread right. To me this is the best feature of the Empeg, and the reason I no longer carry CDs. I have all my music everywhere I go. As for color screens etc, I personally could care less if it isn't a pull out unit.
Thanks, Bitt.I do what I can.
when I am going an Address of 1313 Mockingbird laneYou can't fit more than one din unit in that hearse jalopy? Too many turbo pressure readouts and whatnot?
MK3 or MK4 with color and a GPS built in is just what the doctor orderedIt would be tres slick.
Empeg has the Best Menu driven Interface and the easy of use no one comes close to, but even if it had a GPS how usefull would it be on a 4 Bit blue ScreenI'm not sure if you've followed the GPS projects, but they're pretty useful now, and becoming more useful. Granted, if you want a rich, detailed maps, look elsewhere, but if getting from point A to point B is your goal, then gpsapp is starting to evolve into something very nice.

I know there are a bunch of GPS Projects using the extra cpu cycles on the Empeg to port out to a PDA it seem cumbersome and clunkieGPSapp does not port out to a PDA. It's all self-contained within the empeg. The only external part is the GPS receiver/antenna, which can often be mounted stealth. Mine is buried inside my dashboard and works fine.
Anyone got a Link for the gpsappFAQ entry is right here.
Edit: Aw, nuts. At least I gave him a direct link.
Hummm that is like a map quest you upload where you want to go and get directions, Usefull but not what I am looking for, really need the whole West coast Plus for myself.Correct. You have to grab a route from the web before you start your trip, and send that route to the player with FTP. Using some clever scripting and a shell extension in the registry, I've gotten it down to just a few clicks.
You seem really pissed off that your car stereo isn't a GPS?I didn't get that impression. He's just asking about features. I don't think that "these features do not match my needs" constitues "pissed off".
Empeg in one din slot, and one of the units with fold-out LCD screen for GPS, TV, DVD, PS2, Xbox, and the like in the other din slot.I've been considering something similar. Crutchfield catalog lists a bunch of fold out screens, but they all only talk about DVD playback, not integrated GPS. And most of them are JUST the screen in that slot, you need yet another slot for the DVD drive.
A MK3 with gps would fit the bill and I won't care if it cost 7000 Bucks...
AUDIO FEATURESThis means I don't have to pipe it into the AUX to hear it work. I can still hear the turn directions even if I've got the music going.
- Speaker Connection for Supplied Speaker
I'm hoping for a TTS enabled GPSapp.So it can tell me to turn left instead of right that much more clearly?
in the FAQ it says that quality map data has to be licensed. How does that work?The problem is that the quality map data is proprietary, meaning that it's in a file format that we don't even know how to decode.
And also, is GPSApp useable for European Empeggers and where could I get (or buy) the maps I need then?If you can find a web site that puts up European route information as latitude/longitude numbers (the way MapsOnUs does), then you could modify GPSapp's python script to screen-scrape that web site instead of MapsOnUs.
That Kenwood system looks pretty neat.I came up with the link quick because that is the system I am eyeing. Same as the system coming in new Lexus cars. I used a co workers Lexus model and it is excellent.
