Do you have to use the Zune to select, or can you use the controls beside the screen?

I'm guessing he has to use the Zune, as the Zune just outputs video to his high end headunit that has a video input.

Nice setup! Do you have an HD or "regular" Zune? I like my 4GB a lot, just wish they made a non-touch screen 16GB or greater version. IMO you need physical buttons for a device in a car, in order to use without having to look & focus on the device.

the 120 is what I'm using and I'm looking for a remote so I don't have to mess with the Zune at all

The Zune HD dock works with all Zune's and has a nice remote. If only I could find my remote!!

i have one on my 65". that damn remote is too tiny to be found most of the time.

id love to be able to manipulate the zuneHD interface through a touch screen in my truck, that would allow me to lock up the zune in a console oor something and still have access to using it. i cant see even bothering with it unless it was an extra video in source that i could potentially watch movies through.

Doesn't the Zune had the touch screen audio controls? I know the ZuneHD has something similar to Pocket Touch on my iPod Touch. MUCH easier to control it without looking than even with hard buttons. I swipe anywhere in the screen up/down to raise lower the volume, double tap to pause/play & swipe right/left to change the track forward and back. I'll never go back to a PMP with buttons again.

zuneHD is very easy to control without looking.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Nice, I didn't realize that!

I have no idea what these guys are talking about. Touchscreen controls are disabled when in dock / TV output mode.

yes they are disabled, but the zunehd is easy enough to use without looking, and the remote is pretty simple to master as well. i also have 7 movies on my sons zunehd, so watching them in the truck would be cool. but i dont have a video screen stereo in my truck.
