I have had this idea rolling around in my head for a while:
i would like to use my 8525 to play music using whatever media player (TCPMP in my case)
i would like to have a USB, wifi, or bluetooth enabled harddrive mounted under my seat
the things i have ran into is this:
i cannot find a bluetooth enabled external harddrive case. seagate announced one but its vaporware/horribly expensive for 20gb or so (i want 200+gb, 500 most likely)
i do not know if my device/phone will connect to an autonomous wifi enabled external harddrive and browse it because i do not have one, if you have one-- espically if its on the cheap side-- PLEASE TEST!
to be useful, and user friendly, the best idea would be to have one wire that plugs into the phone and runs to the HDD case, this one wire could take the audio out, charge the phone, and possibly transfer data from the HDD to the phone.
at the case there will be the normal power hookups (+12, -12, +12remote) and RCA jacks to lead to your HU (might also need to integrate a preamp)
