Phat Box

I have a possible purchase of a first gen Phat Box for my 06 MCS with HK stereo. I do not want to make the investment if its not compatible. Anyone know for sure

TIA

Ray

I don't think it's compatible. If you know your HK model, you can look it up on their web site. You can try calling Phatnoice and ask them also, but I have found that they don't know their product well. When I inquired about it being compatible with my Crossfire, they said no, when all along they should have known the Crossfire is basically a MB SLK320 and is fitted with a Becker TrafficPro unit, which is compatible with the PhatBox. I found a guy on e-bay that sold me the unit, and the TrafficPro cable, and it works great. The units are basically the same. It's getting the right cable that's the trick. Do you know Phatbox is being discontinued? I would just get the Ipod adaptor. I have it on my Mini and works great.
