A friend got me an OmniFi car unit for Christmas:

... essentially, it's an MP3 hard drive that is on your home wireless network when you're parked at home.
I have a 03 Matrix with the stock stereo that's just short of the "premium" unit.
It has no AUX inputs, so I will need to buy a new head unit but I don't have the cash to match speakers.
I've been looking at the Alpine head units, but can't figure out whether or not I'd be able to hook the omnifi as an aux unit. Would it be an external CD changer? What the heck would I plug the omni-fi into without an Aux jack?
I'm hoping that both head units will fit in the Matrix, and I think I found a "double DIN" setup for it that would make it work.
Here are my listening habits:
- AM Talk to and from work
- Custom music to and from just about any other place
- I compose electronic music in my spare time using Roland Digital Reference monitor speakers, so I understand that my car stereo isn't going to match THAT but, I can't stand muddy music. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I demand a reasonable user interface in anything I own. I hate motorized doors and "little movies" that play on most of the head units out there. If I wanted to watch TV, I'd be at home. If I wanted to play with a motorized door, I'd go to jail.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Anyone else have an omnifi?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Terry
