Most usb hard drives come with with a Y splitting cable, in case you need one they can be found on deal extreme.

Most Harvey Norman, Tandy, Dick Smith Electronics & phone stores should have those 12v to usb adapters, I picked one up for $15.00 from the local Harvey Norman.

It was mentioned already, but ntfs partitions can't be read by the stereo.

Might be worth mentioning that I only sat in the drive way when I tested this, I have no idea how well a usb hard drive will cope with the vibrations and knocks that go with daily driving.



I was hoping to stay around a bit longer this morning so that any one who wanted to, could have a close look of the car.

Will be at the meet point a bit early tomorrow so feel free to come up and have a look!
