Control Interface Question
« on: December 18, 2005, 02:33:20 am »
Hack suggestion as requested:

This is an intriguing phatbox like unit:

I wish there was a way to control my VW Phatbox via a palm.  I have a Honda Odyssey as a second car and would love to be able to put my VW phatbox into that car for long family drives.  If only there was a way to control the unit using a palm device or an adapter to the Honda OEM interface.  Does anyone know the electrical interface and communication protocol for the VW phatbox?

I don't know about you but I like to keep both eyes on the road when I'm driving and that Palm is akin to having a dvd player in your car-SENSELESS!

Best bet is a SONY adaptor, which will provide you RCA input... then you can use the Kenwood display unit for the keg...
