I wasn't suggesting anyone switch. I wouldn't. While the hardware is certinly very appealing (in a judging a book by its coveer sort of way) the empeg (all great products) are all about the software. There's a trade-off in a lot of cases of course.

The Dension unit is what I would have liked to see as the basis of an MK3. Going forward and with DIN mounting becoming more problematic (there's practically always "a way") I believe the key will be in integration. Many vehicles are coming equipped with displays that, for all intents and purposes, should/could be rather general purpose. If you know the magic to interfacing with them. We're already at the tethered CPU stage with LCD products from the likes of Alpine (my brother is installing one along with his empeg in his new Acura TL). Next will be high speed wireless links - though I suppose that might be a far-off "next" (but we'll see...)
