What do you mean by external drive? Do you have an ipod or any other usb mp3 player? I don't know if you can use an external harddrive if that's what you mean. It'd be cool if you could.

I was browsing around on Alpine's website and saw that you can use an iphone with the x001.

I can tell you first hand that it doesn't work with mine.

It said you might have to update the firmware on the phone to version 1.0.1 or later.

Mine works flawlessly. You have to tweak a little bit

Pop it into the laptop that you're logging with, rip it to itunes, then put it on your iPod. Problem solved.

I hate iPod's

Can you hook a FAT32 formatted USB hard drive up to it and play MP3's off it?

And does it connect in the rear? If so, I'm freaking sold on it!!!

It would connect in the rear, or via the extension cable that connects in the rear anyways. As far as the HD actually working, can't tell you.
