What a GREAT idea !!

The way I see it, this would solve several of our problems, and breathe life into the Empeg for many years to come !!

Because :
* Emulating an iPod would make it compatible with all those ICE>link adapters, and those are available for almost every factory HU model.
* The standard steering-wheel controls in cars would work with the Empeg ! (ok, vol up/down and track prev/next probably nothing more but that's already plenty...), because these steering wheel controls are connected to the standard HU. (and this HU can -through the ICE>link- control the iPod/Empeg)
* Since the ICE>Link also shows the ID tag info of the tracks (on the iPod) on the screen of the factory HU, this would mean that we would have no more need for an external Empeg screen. All the info we would need would be on the display of the factory headunit !

This would also mean that we would then be able to build the Empeg into the glove compartment eg., and still be able to control it !!! (ok, we would maybe have to use an IR extender, but that's a very small problem and easy to tackle)

I REALLY hope that somebody who has the necessary skills to tackle this problem will be persuaded to make such an emulator. it would be SO useful for all Empeg owners, seeing it's becoming increasingly difficult to install an Empeg in new cars. (most don't even come with a DIN slot anymore...
