as some of you may have noticed the us spec phatbox, when used with the euro nav+/mfd headunit, skips once in a while. These skips can be a short jump in the music or momentary drop of the cd changer connection. I believe all the us spec phatboxes used with euro nav+s have this problem. some may be minor so you don't notice it as much. some may skip a few times for each song. The skipping problem is related to the buffer chip used. The euro spec phatbox uses a different voltage chip than the us spec phatbox so when used with the euro nav+ it creates a power incompatibility problem. i have successfully converted the US spec phatbox to euro spec and it's now fully compatible with the nav+ and doesn't skip anymore. This conversion is not recommended to anyone who does not have expert soldering skills. The chip is extremely tiny so a magnifying glass and super fine tip soldering iron are needed. DO NOT attempt if you're not a soldering expert or i can guarantee that you will end up with a phat paperweight. Email me at kenzhao8 at comcast dot net for part numbers and questions.
