It did strike me when I saw the Karma at the meet that the ideal solution for me would be to put the Karma docking station on top of the dash and wire it in to the HU, so that it was both charging and playing my music at the same time.

I'm not sure whether that docking station would be able to cope with the movement and vibration of an in-car environment, having been designed for home use. Of course, you would need to be able to buy more than one docking station.

I'm doing less and less driving, so a more flexible solution would be ideal. That would release my Empeg for someone who really wants to do things with the software, which will never be me. My only concern would be whether I could still come to Amersfoort, if I sold my passport!
