Phatbox?

Post by Chris6 » Sun Dec 20, 2015 12:11 pm

Hi guys I've not long bought my c5 avant and absolutely love it. It has a phatbox digital media player in the boot. Can anyone tell me anything about it? It hasnt come with a cable of any sort to plig the cartridge into a computer.

Cheers
Chris

I have also got one of these you need the usb docking station and the software in order to put music on to the cartridge:) when I've got 5 mins I can take photos of the docking station and part numbers and maybe a link to the old software which can a little bit tricky to find because they no longer make these! Your best bet to find a dock would be to find a second hand one on eBay !

I have a disused Phatbox player, modified to fit the Avant's media cubby, plus cable and USB cradle. Would do the lot for £50 + postage.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'm going to push the boat out and get an aftermarket head unit.

Cheers
Chris
