iPod 5.5 and my car kit
chileboy:
I am guessing that the best (or only) way to proceed is to use the current source code and recompile? I am new to this, so I am starting to read up on the development - will take me a few days to figure out what I am doing.

That's good to know!
I'm sure I will have some questions as I proceed.
Thanks again.
torne:
Yes, you will need to compile your own build. Follow the guide on the wiki and it shouldn't be too hard.

There is a custom build in this thread, but I haven't tried it yet.

Yeah, I saw that, but it is a pretty old version at this point.
I've gotten my compile environment set up, and successfully compiled my own build - used the latest SVN without modifications, to make sure I could do it, as I said, I'm pretty new to this.
But, upon reflection, I'm thinking I am barking up the wrong tree anyway. I believe that all this would allow me to do is access the files on the iPod - effectively removing Rockbox and the iPod hardware from the mix. So the decoding would take place within the head unit of the Parrot, which is not what I want. In that case, I could simply copy my files to a USB drive and be done with it.
The whole point is that I want to use the DACs in the iPod, which I think are superior to those in the Parrot.
And, I am using lossless files, which the Parrot doesn't support anyway.
Torne, et. al., is that correct?
torne:
Yes, all it will do is make it behave like any other USB storage device; the only formats supported will be the ones the head unit supports. It will work exactly as well as if you copied the files to another USB device.
