I just happen to be scrolling through Pioneer's website and i came across this interesting device called the CD-UB100. It is similar to the IPOD adapter, but it is for those who dont own an IPOD. I was wondering if anyone own this device, and if so can you tell me a little about it or if you are happy with the product?

Woah...I wonder if this will allow another mobile HD to connect with all my MP3's. Luckily I work for a HD manufacturer now I just need this unit to test!

Previous thread on it here:

General consensus is this thing will work as an "External Device" on most HU's which is not a good thing.

I also made a thread about this a couple weeks ago.

i actually just bought this off of fleabay a few hours ago. if anyone hasn't purchased one yet, i'd be happy to give a review on my D3 (i was curious as to whether or not the USB media can actually replay dvd files...here's to hope?)

Someone already posted a review and conclusion was: it's terrible.

No, you can't play DVD files off USB. The UB100 has no video output or video decoder. It also doesn't have a high-bandwidth data connection so it can't send those files to the HU to be decoded either. IP Bus is a control bus only.

well that just ruined my day. lol.

it's all right; i plan to use it to store music only anyway.

lol nevermind it seems the product's not good for mp3s either...have to shorten it to 8 character file names is ridiculous...that's basically old school DOS.

well, time to ask the guy for RMA/return...*sigh* maybe my only solution for a hard disk player is the ipod.
