Sound System Audio CD vs MP3

[Dougal]

I have the Premium Sound System installed (but no CDC).  Bit of a shock going back to CDs after using a USB stick in my previous car.

Can anyone tell me if the CD player can play MP3 files on disk?

[Raistlin]

No it can't.

Hi

That's a No I'm affraid

But you can get a Audio connectivity Module, then you can play mp3's via a usb flash drive or even plug a Ipod into it, the MP3 usb can be controlled through the dash, steering control and even by voice control

you can get them new but there not cheap, but you do drop on them every now and then on eBay

I have one in mine and use it all the time , well recomended

cheers

many thanks

I Googled that and found some fitting instructions. I certainly couldn't do it, and i guess its BIG bucks to have it fitted.  Much as I love the car, it seems I've taken a generational step backwards when it comes to sounds:-(

Hi

I fitted my own and it took less than an hour to do, its not that difficult

I can also recommend the the parrot mki9200, it will give you full handfree and you can insert a sd card and play all the mp3 you want, think there about £200 fitted

or I can recommend one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361703588070?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

there only a tenner, offer full hands free, it connects to phone via bluetooth, plays all the music on your phone, through your car speakers, via a fm station, as its got a fm transmitter built in, its even got a micro sd slot on it, where you can play mp3's directly from, so need to connect a phone if you dont want, cant go wrong for £10, I've got one in my work car, works really well

cheers

WOW! Brilliant thanks.  Had no idea such a device was even viable!
