Technical discussion such as Bluetooth, Sat-Nav, iPods, tyres, brakes, all that kind of stuff.

Just copy it to the HD, the drive is 30 gig but it only allows 20 gig for your music etc, the other is saved for the map and other system data

Juniorbanks,

Haven't got the car yet so can't have a play! I also have a mac but have heard you can't just dump your iTunes library onto the hard drive. Did you have to save everything out as MP3s first?

Yeah you will have to convert them to MP3's, easy to do iTunes with a couple of clicks ... the AAC format is not compatible plus its bloated, save everything as 320kbps MP3's :yes: Depends how big the SD card is you have as to how much you can put on it, mine is only 2GB so every time i get a new album i just copy it over to the car

AAC bloated??

192KBps AAC is half the size of a 320KBps MP3 and virtually indistinguishable in audio terms.... but given it's not supported there's little point in this post!
