Hi-MD Car Head-Unit

As far as I know, no one makes one yet, my advice get a good head unit with an aux jack on the front, and plug your minidisc into it.

Second choice, get an MDLP car deck, and record the car discs in MDLP mode.

Hopefully soon someone at Sony will see the light and market a deck.

Pretty much... This has been discussed not too long ago on another thread. Funny though because a search for "Hi-MD car" doesn't really get you anywhere (it doesn't show the thread I'm talking about at least). And simply searching for "car" does nothing either (neither does searching for Hi-MD) because the string "car" is too short rolleyes.gif

So I guess the original poster can't be faulted for not searching haha

Anyway, yeah, it doesn't seem like Sony has any plans for making a Hi-MD car unit in the near future. I think they'd only do so if this generation and the next generation of Hi-MD units are still selling well. If not I think they'll be more concerned with whether to continue the format altogether than on whether to make a car deck.

In the meantime Sony has planned to release a UniLink-to-remote port Walkman adapter/controller to have control over walkmans through Sony car HUs with UniLink changer control. However they have been taking their sweet time releasing it! However another company, Connects2, has decided to release their own version of the same adapter and it is available now at a price of $115. It provides both the aux input facility and control/display of pretty much any Walkman that can also use the RM-MC40ELK remote 100%. It was really intended for the HDx series units but it will also work with Hi-MD walkmans.

Here is the link to the thread discussing it:
