fitted my hd5 to a cradle in my boot and linked it to my head unit via a "connects 2" connector, all works fine. (woopeee 20gb of music controllable via the head unit im my coupe :) )

only problem now was recharging the hd5 !

i have also a psp with a incar 12v socket charger and reading the spec's of both the hd5 and the psp chargers the seemed compatable. took a ignition 12v feed from the wiper motor and took apart the car charger soldered the + - and hay presto. start the car the hd5 gets power and full access thru the sony head unit.

the psp charger had the same yellow right angle charging connector as the hd5.

does anyone on here see there being a problem with the above ?

is running the hd5 on charging/power bad for the unit or battery ? or does the battery get bypased ?

thanks in advance

just to get the sonic stage thing sorted now, im unable to transfer my libary nearly 20gb @ artrac64 (so a lot of cd's) to the replacement player as the car one is going to stay in the car. any new tracks added to ss transfer ok but my libary wont.

later D
