MP3 player - best model, best supplier, best fitter
I want to have an MP3 player (probably Kenwood) fitted into my Audi,
but am unsure as to the best model to have fitted.
Also would like to have new speakers fitted, as the ones in there are
the standard Audi ones.
Anyone ever used a service to fit a player and speakers to their auto?
Was the price good (items and fitment)?
Any advice would be helpful.

No, it's not well known within Audi UK. I have had a 'phone
conversation with someone from Audi UK (I think he described himself as
'After Market Parts manager', or something like that). He said that he
was probably the only UK Audi guy who would have a clue what the
PhatBox is. I have also shown my PhatBox to my Audi salesman, so at
least one person at Ridgeway Audi in Newbury do have some knowledge!

Strange. My initial email enquiry to PhatNoise was forwarded to AoA.
They passed on my enquiry to Audi UK and to Clair Parts.

It will only be available through Audi dealers, and probably no earlier
than the end of this year.
Clair Audi Parts
(http://www.clairparts.com/accessorie...99&PDID=192242)
were happy to take my order and ship to the UK (for an additional
$110). My contact there is Barry Belt, but I'll refrain from posting
his email address on Usenet!

How does the phatbox interface with your dash cd readout? Can you see
the song names?
Thanks

No. I don't know of any Audi head unit which has the capability of
displaying names. PhatBox works by giving voice prompts, including
reading out the album and song names - actually much safer whilst
driving because, once you have found the buttons on the HU, you can
keep your eyes on the road.

: Chris Tarrant - 10/March/1999 (6896)
Chris Tarrant - 10/March/1999
Certainty level: 25%
This one might be aimed at me, or it might be tinged with a whiff of intent, although I only give one chance in four for Tarrant's thoughts being aimed
at me when he said this. During his "Who wants to be a Millionaire" TV show in March 1999, he said;
if you're watching the show jumping up and down screaming at the telly,
remember you could be here. You can either seek professional help or call us...
The background is as follows. In early March I'd sent a quantity of emails to Capital FM, the London radio station where Mr Tarrant has his breakfast
show. They were addressed to the email account which Mr Tarrant used to read emails posted on Capital's website. Capital objected to the quantity
of emails - in fact, they contacted the Metropolitan Police's Computer Crime unit, who, in turn, "felt my collar" by giving me a verbal warning
over the phone to cease this behaviour.
The emails contained the words which I had heard Mr Tarrant speak in early 1994, namely;
"You know this bloke? He says we're trying to kill him.
We should be done for attempted manslaughter".
At the time of writing (May 1999), the Police have not told me what aspect of the emails was "illegal", nor despite my repeated urging have they
questioned Mr Tarrant about his remarks from 1994.
Regarding the clip from Tarrant's show above. The Police spoke to me on the afternoon of Wednesday 10 March 1999. Tarrant's live show went out
that same evening. The Police have told me that after speaking to me they told Capital FM that they'd spoken to me regarding the emails. So Tarrant
would have known by the time of the show who'd sent the emails and why.... and it's quite possible that his remarks about "seeking professional help"
were aimed at me personally following my attempts to persuade him to own up to his 1994 remarks.
