Default Phatbox discontinued. Anything new to replace it?
I have an '01 S4 Avant and would like to put about 20 - 40 GB of music in it without hacking an iPod adaptor in. Any alternatives to Phatbox?

Default Nothing to hack with a DICE box. Plugs right into the CD changer socket.
Put the ipod in your glove box and control it all with the head unit, song titles and all.

Default Not entirely discontinued. I got a new Phatbox "replacement unit" from clair parts recently for
~$100. You'd then have to source the cartridge and PC cradle separately.

Default Google is your friend! :)
It's a device that tricks your radio into thinking your ipod is a CD changer. I love mine <ul><li><a href="http://www.diceelectronics.com/">http://www.diceelectronics.com/</a</li></ul>
