Just got an ex-demo Blaupunkt Daytona MP53 head unit for £100 off ebay -

arrived this morning. No idea if it`s any good yet, but it was damn site

cheaper than getting a CD changer and a compatible head unit.



MP3 CD headunit = Yay!



So sayeth me.

they are not the same quality at all, I play mp3`s here in my house ripped

from CD`s at max quality and I can tell the difference between that and the

original cd, the bass goes higher without distorting etc...

I think he was saying that he burned an audio CD from MP3`s he had on his

PC and also burned a data CD with the same MP3 files on, and that the

playback from the data CD sounded worse than from the audio CD.



If that is really true, then either the MP3 decoder in the headunit is a

bit shonky, or the interpolation algorithm used by the burning/decoding

software on the PC is better.

So to begin with, this is not real or augmented reality. It is a trickster

“…to automatically unlock/lock*3 the car door and start/stop the engine. Nissan and Sharp has now integrated these electronic intelligent-key, wireless communications and electromagnetic technologies into the new handset. ”

I have always been jealous of my friends that can start their cars from their key fobs, especially on those cold or hot days that could use some warming up or cooling down. Hopefully one day, I will be able to download my make and year of my car (and maybe some private registration info) to my cell phone and be able to access my car and other cool features from the palm of my hand.
