So the stereo has a USB port -- the manual says you can plug in flash drives, card readers and even external hard drives into it. It lists the max size as 10gig.
So what will happen if I plug in my 20gig iPod into it? Will it be able to find all the music? (in the hidden folders)
YES. It works great! I had about 2500 songs on my 20gig and it found them without issue in just a few seconds after connecting it. It also charged the iPod, which is a great bonus.
There is the JVC iPod interface module for about $40, but I figured who needs that anyway?
I may buy the AUX-In cable so I can just connect it to the iPod's headphone output like I do now...
I just installed a Pioneer AVIC D3 headunit in my Toyota Tacoma. It was my first install and I think it looks pretty good.
Selling these, so it's only a matter of time before someone asks for real pictures. Figured I'd make them pretty, or as close to that as cheap paper, wireless flash and the floor would allow. :)
Thanks to the Internet I was able to find wiring diagrams for the factory instal. I wired up ISO connectors to the car so I can easily swop out my head unit (it is a cheap Chinese unit & I don't trust it to be reliable for long).
There is lots of room for the masses of cables ...

I didn't take this! My very talented wife has a handy studio setup for taking product shots like this, and since I'm incredibly lazy, I deferred to her. :) She's over at muddybootsphotography.blogspot.com/ if you're curious about her work.
This is my 1985 BMW 323i. I believe 1985 was the second year of the E30 designation. This car uses the 2.3 liter M20 engine, which is a SOHC inline 6 with two valves per cylinder. I believe it uses the Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection system. The 2.3 liter has a fairly hot cam since this was BMW's highest performance 3-Series for this model year. The suspension setup has MacPherson struts up front and trailing arms in the rear. This setup works remarkably well considering that these are not exactly ideal suspension configurations.
This particular car has about 160,000 miles on the original engine/trans. It was originally purchased by my uncle while he was in Germany and he brought it back to the US and gave it to my cousin as a high school graduation present. My cousin kept it for the next 20 years, over which time the car incurred significant rust damage to the body around the rocker panels/floor. I spent several weeks this summer repairing the damage on the passenger side, which included replacing the rear portion of the rocker panel, the front fender, and patching the floor and rear wheel arch.
This car is mostly stock. The original radio was stolen, so I have a Pioneer DEH-P560MP headunit. I also installed an Audiobahn A6004V amplifier. The front speakers have been replaced with an Infinity 5010cs component speaker system. I'm still trying to figure out what to use in the rear.
I still have the original 14" bottlecap wheels with Yokohama AVS ES100 tires.
These pictures were taken right after I repainted it with an enamel top coat. Some of the trim hasn't been replaced yet since I'm waiting for the paint to harden enough to polish.
Shore Cellular replaced the factory radio from this Chrysler Sebring and installed a JVC head unit with front USB and auxiliary ports.

As removing the factory head unit removed the "lights on" buzzer I wanted a light on the dash to show remind me they are on.
The canbus light system proved a challenge too far for my local auto electrician (at least within a reasonable time/cost).
I got around the problem by running a +ive feed back from the front marker light. Low tech but it gets the job done. I also used the feed to power the rear view camera switch so it can't be left on once lights are off. That also acts as a lights on reminder too.
