| For me, I picked up a headunit that has a USB connector. And then I picked up an 80GB external USB drive for like $100. But I had a similar dilema. The USB drive needed 1.0A of power and the headunit only puts out 0.5A which wasn't enough to power the drive. But it was cool that the external drive had a second USB connector for an additional power source. So I spliced up an old cell phone lighter adapter that used the same required 5.0 voltage to a female USB connector. Then I spliced another external cig lighter plug to power from behind the center console to keep it all hidden. Voila! Gigs & gigs of music! At the same time, I now have a USB connector to power IPOD's & PDA's. Woo hoo!
