Default It's a Conspiracy!

With all the technology available today what is the hold up on a head unit with a hard drive??? Yeah it's super neat that you can hook your $400 ipod up and all that but what if you're not an ipod person? There is no way that I am the only person who wants to load all their music and videos directly to a head unit and not have to plug in a thumb drive or an ipod. It's got to be some conspiracy I tell ya.

And sure you can go the mobile PC route like GB, which is awesome by the way but space is at a premium with my C5 and I already want to put in an amp, sub and a nitrous bottle... Not really room for all of those as it is.

the DD Avic f90BT in my truck has a SD card reader and a usb hook up... ive read of some hooking up a mini hard drive to it and woking but the problem is getting the required power for the HD... i believe Pioneer makes some DD w/ HD built in... there out there... not sure if its only for DD radios though...

I've got a 40 GB hard drive factory stock in mine with a USB hook up and an Ipod hook up.
Too bad Chevy can't upgrade the Corvette to be like the Caddy, even the Nav blows away the Vette.

The only problem with a HD setup is you still have to load it which involves connecting a laptop of a thumb drive. I've got both an Ipod and a 32 gig thumb drive on my. I unplug the drive, take it inside, load it up and plug it back in the car - no problems.
