Finally was fit enough to venture outside in the (relative) warmth and fit the AnyCar MP3s player from Amazon. After a couple of false starts I can now report that it works very well.
As it was dark by the time I finished installing it I didn't get the chance to actually position it properly, so it currently sits beneath the steering wheel with an SD card with 590 MP3 tracks on it (roughly 6GB worth). The most it can handle is 6x99 tracks due to the folder structure that is mandated by the player. Obviously no photos of the install yet until I can actually do it in the light to properly tie the thing down so I can access the SD slot.
The one thing from above that I have noticed is that the reader (same as XCarLink) does not like a number of different USB pens. Although it is quoted as being able to use them, the only one I could actually get working was only 1GB in size, so neither use nor ornament really. Others would start reading the card (or appear to), but would not actually start playing. Whereas SD cards worked first time, everytime.
