Thanks Lee. Hmm, yes, good thought about the damage potential of the
flash-drive sticking out the front.
I wonder if there is any adapter for going from the CD changer plug to
USB ? I have a perfectly good Kenwood CD/MP3 unit in my car now,
and hate to spring for a new unit just for this. Maybe I should just
find a cheap-o MP3 player and connect via the CD-changer to 3.5mm
mini-plug adapter (which I already have).
