    The MP3mobile!
  • The MP3mobile This page documents my efforts at fitting my car with a MP3 player: I'm still twiddling with lots of bits of the setup, and so this page will change when things do with the setup.
  • . If it doesn't work for you, burns down your house/car/household pet, that's your problem.
  • . For those of you looking for a complete, built, in-dash player should look at my empeg unit ( which is very cute ;) As this page is getting pretty big now, here's an index: the mp3mobile was created - pictures of it in operation on the power supply and so on - including bits to download in development - TV appearance & all! (updated 8th April 1999) Why? The whole idea got rolling when I decided I wanted to upgrade my car stereo in my (Miata to Americans, Eunos Roadster for Japanese!).
  • . Up until MP3mobile, I'd been using a Sony TCD-D3 DAT walkman on a car-mount arm as the primary audio source, which was great: long play, good quality audio - just that I never seemed to have the tapes with me that suited my mood, and the D3 doesn't have useful things like track programming or repeat.

    RioCar MP3 Player (Empeg)
  • contents Art | Automotive | Computing | Résumé | meta | book | adsense Empeg Nomenclature Firstly, the name related confusion (Empeg, Rio Car, Diamond Multimedia, SONICblue and so on ...) can be removed by the following quote from the Empeg website: " Empeg Ltd was the first company to bring to market an in-dash MP3 player, the empeg car.
  • . On November 1st 2000 Empeg was acquired by SONICblue Incorporated, who continued to market an updated version of the car player - Rio Car - until it was discontinued in January 2002.
  • . The Rio division of SONICblue was sold at auction in early 2003, and the new owners decided not to purchase the car player support operation which remained with SONICblue, and as a result was discontinued at the end of May 2003.
  • . I waited that long to order one not because I am not used to burning holes in my pockets due to gizmos, but because I had long since decided not to install it in my car.

    Wired 7.08: The MP3 Players

  • . Car decks have been announced.
  • . Using the built-in 32 megs of memory, the player stores only 30 minutes of CD-quality music, but removable flash memory cards (purchased separately) can be used to bump up the playback time.
  • . Creative Labs Nomad Like the Rio PMP300, the Nomad sports 32 megs of built-in RAM, and you can boost that another 32 with flash memory cards.
  • . Pontis MPlayer3 Don't you just love the ergo-cool shape and those cute little removable flash memory cards with the Keith Haring-esque design? You'd better: The MPlayer3 comes sans built-in memory.
  • . While this scheme sounds a little impractical, Pontis is banking on forthcoming 128-meg cards to make this player sing.
  • . Saehan MP-F20 The MP-F20 uses flash cards and 32 megs of built-in memory to provide 60 minutes of CD-quality music.
  • . Empeg Empeg Car The Empeg Car sits on your dash and holds up to 5, 000 MP3 songs (or 35 hours of music) in a 2.1-gig hard drive.
  • . This removable auto stereo includes an infrared remote, USB and serial ports for transferring music files, and four pre-outs for your in-car amplifier.


    Wired 7.12: Street Cred
  • . I couldn't wait to install empeg car, the jitter-free MP3 stereo from a Cambridge, England-based startup.
  • . The 3.5-pound, Linux-based computer is the same size as the average removable car stereo, though it has the advantage in looks - it's stylishly finished with a blue, green, or amber screen.
  • . The less mechanically minded, however, should seek professional help to install the docking bay, and the unit doesn't come with an amplifier or speakers, so you'll have to choose some good ones from the local car-stereo store.
  • . To fill the empeg car deck with music, just connect it to your computer via a USB cable (or standard serial port) and start sucking down tracks.
  • . Using the remote control, with its separate buttons for each function, was easiest - and extremely practical if you tap empeg car's audio line out to plug it into your living-room hi-fi.
