Looks like I’ll be modifying my car stereo a bit soon. Being that I spend about five to six hours on the road each week (just for the morning commute), it seems like a worthwhile investment. The only thing that’d be better is a portable FM broadcaster that’d play mp3’s from a USB and Memory Stick. Then I could just take the broadcaster with me in whatever car I’m in or at work.
