rockbox for car mode
gpp:
ok,lost so here is my question.i want to buy a mp3 for my car.i want to leave it in the car but want to know does the car mode let me turn on car,play the player,turn the car off,restart car and player play without me having to restart it.i kinda want it to do like a jump drive.leave it in ,start car ,music plays,turn it off it stops till I restart car.
saratoga:
Yes, car mode turns the player on/off with the car ignition.
Make sure you get a device with a stable enough port to have working USB however. Car mode is often broken on devices that don't have working USB drivers.
gpp:
any suggestions on a player ? all im going to play is 1 play list of my old songs so it doesnt have to be fancy but need at least 16 gb of memory.

Hi,
I recommend ipod gen5.5 i also recommend the slightly thicker 80gb (not 60 or 30) version because it is upgradable to 240gb later if you desire.
i have been using mine in car mode for over 7 years and even wrote a special screen for it.
i found ebay and this place
http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-3-ipod+classic+gen+5+5,28zu0
to be the best place to buy refurbished ipod gen 5.5.
if you need i can send you my wps and special config files i made for car mode. but you will need the ipod gen5 or gen 5.5 for it to work right.
