Jay,

Basically, we came up with an in-dash MP3 player that looks very much
like my daughter's portable MP3 player.


What'S wrong with a little plug you hook any portable MP3 player up to?
What 's the advantage compared to hooking up a USB stick to the
built-in player?


that's what I have. PS60000M and an iPod Nano. I have a short patch
cable that ties the iPod output side into the PS60000M. Works like a
charm. So that solution meets the market requirement for music.

However, if I could figure out a cheaper way of getting XM I'd be all
for that. Right now I am looking at a GDL69-A @ $5K or so and then the
XM subscription fee. This is an expensive hobby!

I still haven't quite come up with the right music for flying yet however.
