Can someone tell me about items like this? Would it be worth it to have it mounted somewhere else in the car, and have a cd player as well; or is that not feasible?

yep yep yep. them things are bad azzzz. kenwood also makes one too. and it all depends on how much music you download or have on your puter.

Smellbird has a kenwood hooked up to his kenwood deck. The thing is sweet.

wow those have gotten a lot cheaper, might have to pick one up.

ipod still makes more sense to me... you can take it anywhere...

They are better, if you have a good way to hook it up. Like the Alpine setup, very slick.

That would be awesome to have all that music with out changing a cd, even with my portable mp3/cd player I would never get past 180songs on a cd. I would only wonder how well/long the hardrive in that unit would hold up with all the bumps and such from the road.

Yeh Id still go with the HU with an AUX setup for a Ipod or equiv. I got my 40 gb iRiver hooked up to mine plus XM.
