Hi Jörg,

you're awesome! There are so many who want to do it and you simply do it.

I'm one of those, I'm still working on a similar solution for the Sony
Unilink Bus, but it's a little bit more complicated. I need an extra
microcontroller for the interface, but there are some examples on the web.
I'm glad to hear that the bidirectional communication really works. I'll
have a look at your code later.
Do you already have plans for a UI? I guess this is the tricky part: how to
navigate through 60GB of MP3s while driving. I was thinking about something
like 10 predefined playlists which have to be edited offline (-> virtual
cds) or something like that.

I hope I'll get IRC running here soon, I'd be happy to discuss some
technical and conceptional issues with you.

Andreas
