(重定向自Empeg)
The Empeg Car is the first in-dash MP3 player developed. In 1998 a British company called Empeg was formed to build the unit, which shipped the following year.
The Empeg Car was a Linux-based unit that transferred MP3 tracks from the user's computer to the player via USB, Ethernet, or a serial port connection. Prices started at $1,100 US for the 4GB version and went all the way up to a $2,400 28GB unit that utilized two laptop drives (which was considered very large capacity at the time). The Empeg Car garnered quite a following and became beloved among the small group of users who bought one.
