like bro Vr2turbo said , HU are cheap nowadays. those with USB/AUX can be purchase around rm300.Unless you have an old high end HU w/out USB/AUX, then the FM modulator is your only choice. Rip your music into the highest MP3 quality and you will should be able to listen to a fairly good MP3 through your Thumbdrive with the modulator. With my std HU using the same method i get at time better sound than the Cda. but need to do a little meddling with the software when ripping the music to MP3.....


haha, yeah my unit is old - Clarion oem for Proton. Looks like changing HU is unavoidable.

Talking about MP3 quality, I'm sure you guys have flac and ape files other than MP3 right? I wonder those players out there can play these format or not?

Have never seen HU that can read FLAC/APE files. What I do is usually burn those FLAC/APE back into standard CD format. Upside, close to original CD quality, downside, need to keep many CDs.
