Many thanks 'Funyou', lots of useful info here. I have not gone for the 6 disc arm rest autochanger, as I definitely did want the usb connection, also - dont like the sound of the autochanger in the armrest, does not seem a natural place to put it!FUNYOU wrote:Hi. If you use sat nave, I’d recommend this system. It is simply superb. The nav on the instrument binnacle display is fantastic, as once you set off, all important info is displayed straight in front of you. (I was looking for a hotel in York at Christmas, and although the system does not take you to the last 2 digits, I simply searched for the hotel via name. Job done). The sat nav DVD took about 2 hours to install, (the DVD wasn’t availabe when I picked up the car in October), and brings down the hard disc space to about 17 gigs. If you do not need the sat nav, I’d recommend people to go for the standard ice, the hard drive is nice, but takes a lot of setting up. Do not go for the 6 disc in the arm rest as this replaces the data connection. Simply by a storage device and connect via the usb input in the arm rest, an 8gig pen drive will store around 80 albums. I also use my Nokia N95 via the usb with a USB Data Transfer Sync Charging Cable.
Thanks for your feedback, I am very impressed with this forum especially given that it is all so new still!
