Does it draw power from the USB socket?

Thought I'd give someone else a chance to comment on a mod for their i30, otherwise I'll be stealing all the thunder!
Only problem you'll have is deciding what to listen to! (I just hold down the random button until it beeps, so it will randomly play everything on the HD, instead of just randomly playing everything in the current folder.) Makes for an interesting trip.
I also love how the i30 remembers what you last played, continuing from the last song next time you start the engine. (Almost all of the MP3 players I have seen will restart from the top of the file list every time power is restored.)
You'll find that the more MP3/WMA files you have, the longer the stereo takes for the first 'read' when powering up. Mine takes roughly 30 seconds to index the entire HD. (115GB on there now)

Haven't tried this with a hard-drive but works with USB and CD... I found out by accident that if you turn the right hand (tune) knob while the music is playing you can flick very quickly through the files on screen. When one comes up you want to play you just push the button in and it selects that track instantly ( I might be barking up the wrong tree... and you might all already know this)
Cheers,

Each time you hit the folder button, it will show you the 'first' file in that folder. (Folder is above the song name, slightly smaller.
I'll grab a shot of it, give me a second.........

NOTE: When time is displayed, it is the current playing song.

Second picture is of the folder view (Whilst the previous song is still playing) You need to press the 'FLDR' button (Either up or down) to select the 'Folder View' mode. (Current song is still playing in the background) Displayed folder is now the next folder on your storage device. Displayed song is the first song in that folder.
Use the 'Tune' knob to scroll through the displayed songs by turning it either way. Once you find the song you wish to play, push the knob in gently.
NOTE: Instead of time being displayed, there is a file number.

Now, for the random button. Press once to randomly play all files in the current folder. Press and hold the RDM button until you hear a beep. It will then randomly play all file on the storage device.
Hope this helps.

Love your taste in Mods, and your skill in fitting them, your postings and assistance with queries is timely and much appreciated ...
But from what I can see your taste in music is shit (sorry)

at the moment i have
monoblock at 1 ohm
2 12' fusion subs
infinity splits
fusion rear speakers
4 channel 1k watt amp
sub box
been considering the install, let me know how you go with the headunit and all your wiring, would be very interested in where you run cables and how you hook it all in to the headunit

Just looking at providing more bottom end. Not interested in rattling windows and setting off car alarms at 500 paces! :?
Post by: encountar on June 01, 2008, 15:16:48
probably best way, as long as the cables arent too thick you shouldnt notice them at all.
im just hoping there is a sub out or something similar for the stock H.U

Dirty, crude, it should do the job.
