low.

I know they are about £7-800 new, but what would one fetch used?
What would be a realistic reserve.
Apart from the legendary Nakamichi sound quality, it would really make
the CarPC sound awsome through the AUX in, rather than the pitiful FM
modulator I using now.

Since I built the car PC, I've put 34 Albums fo MP3s on it, and more to
be copied on everyday.

Good thing about a decent headunit with AUX in would be that I could
have the PC on the AUX selection, with TA setup, with GPS giving voice
and on screen directions, but cutting the Traffic announcement in while
the GPS stuff stayed on screen. Something I can't do using a Modulator
ATM

How many pre-outs (if any) do these things have?

Found this.
http://www.nakamichi.com/auto/musicbank/mb_75_specs.htm

Says " 4 ch. Preamplifier output".

Don't know if they are traditional RCA preouts though.

And to show what a real donut I am, "• 4-channel high power amplifier
(40watts x 4) and 4 low-level RCA outputs
" on the same page.

Ah ha, I'd like to know if they are 4v but I can have a look around for that
myself or I could just stick with my Alpine 7944

Got mine hooked into an aux input... it definitely makes a big improvement.
A friend of mine is using an FM Modulator for an Xbox and it's not that
nice. The only problem I get is nasty amounts of inteference from my
inverter... gets picked up by the screen and the aux audio input

If your inverter has a seperate (on mine it is a wingnut) ground
connector, connect it up.

Mine has the usual long + and - wires, but I got lots of Alternator/Fuel
pump type whine. I then grounded the the motherboard, PSU and Inverter
to the same gorund, and lost a lot of that. Now all I get is FM crackle
from the cheap (about £40ish) modulator. i've tried a ground loop
isolator. That made more noise than the bare modulator did, so i have a
feeling it is an FM noise than Ground noise problem. Really need to try
a decent headunit.

I'll have a look when I get back to my car this evening... not noticed
another ground, but you never know. Thanks for the tip :-)
