PhatNoise have proven that a CD-changer emulated connection can sell. So if SB's design is more compelling, they might as well run with it while someone is interested.

I can see this as a popular item with current consumer/car electronics companies who want to use one of their more standardized deck designs up front, but want to cash in on the MP3 wave. PN have even signed on Visteon. Their stuff looks like crap, but it's in all sorts of vehicles fresh from the factory.
