Hi guys.
I have recently upgraded my stereo head unit in my Subaru. The stock headunit was single disc CD with no mp3 data playback and even had a cassette deck (what are you doing Subaru!!!!). Anyway I bought a new head unit back in October. I finally got round to fitting it this weekend just gone. Anyway all was good. I improved my audio output quality, the stock headunit amp was terrible. I was considering new speakers in my car, but the new Pioneer amp in the headunit is much better and makes my speaker sound twice as good as before, so I'm not going to bother now.
Anyway I got a USB drive and copied over some music and all good plays brilliantly on my headunit, however one niggly problem was that the USB pen sticks out the front of my headunit about an inch or so. It just looks terrible. So I got into OcUK this morning and had a look at what USB storage pens we had that would look good plugged in the front of my headunit. I came across the Patriot AutoBahn drives. So I bought one
Anyone after a USB pen for the car - I would 100% recommend these.
Here it is on my desk, compared to a 50pence coin
And plugged into my keyboard here
and here
The write speeds are not the best but for the price it's not the end of the world, and to be honest 16GB of music I doubt I will need to put any more stuff on soon. (Maybe 1 album every month or two - as and when I buy them)
I am going out in a short while so I will plug it into my headunit and show you a photo of the footprint that sticks out the headunit itself.
All in all I'm very happy with it.
