So, I finally got a good chance to use the front input of the VRCD300-USB. I used a custom cable to pipe sound from my VX9800 into it. I had the volume up all the way on the phone and I had to turn the unit up to about 25-30 to hear it well. Volume was a bit quieter than from other sources.

However, that probably means they are attenuating the input, which is good since some devices can probably drive a fair amount of power out of the headphone jacks. This also means it probably wouldn't work very well with a line-level output.

The sound quality was fine. It seems a bit "muddier" than playing the same stuff from MP3 off of a CD and a bit muddier than listening to the audio through the 9800 with headphones. It might be that I need to turn the handset's volume down the the headunit's volume up. However, it was perfectly acceptable, too. What, with all the road noise and such, you can hardly tell, really.
