Does the 6 disc cd player only play cds or can it read mp3s as well?

 

I think MP3's as well. I need to verify though.

 

my 07 db9 does not

 

Anyone with a vantage 06+ can verify if the 6 disc changer reads MP3?

 

6disc changer does not read mp3s.

 

thanks for checking moogle.

 

Anyone know of a way to install an iPod adapter (not using a FM tuner) on a 2007 Vantage?

 

There is now a solution to retrofit the 08-> standard ipod connector interface to older models, consult your dealer.

 

I cannot believe the 6 disc changer only reads audio cds.....

 

My Toyota FJ Cruiser reads mp3s, my M3 does not and now the new Vantage eather... mp3 is soo much better. You can load 400 songs on one CD and never remove it. Can't believe AM didn't think of this.

 

I just confirmed from AM that the 08+ models can read mp3 cd, but 06 and 07 models cannot.

 

We do an Ipod kit for Pre 08MY

Contact us through www.paralight.co.uk

 

Do you have a link to the product iPod only? I would like more info and pics.

Also, can you please advise if this can be shipped o the US and the cost? I assume my mobile audio guy can do the install???

Thanks,
Adam

 

Adam,

I am working at the factory again tomorrow on some ideas. I will get some more pictures of the Ipod kit I fitted to one of their engineering cars (05 V8). Can you let me have your email address through our website and I will respond directly.

As for the installation. To get the information required to be able to build this interface, I had to agree to some strict rules regarding the supply and installation of these kits, so as not to affect the electronics on the car. Also the car does have to come to pieces quite substantially, so it is not for the faint hearted engineer. However if there is a top class installations company you know then I would be happy to train them on the car. To this end at present the kit is only available to be fitted either by myself or via the dealer network. However due to the fact that the factory are working on their own Ipod solution (late summer and around $2000.00) and because my solution is not an official AM product, the dealers are loath to help. So it looks like I may be on a massive US tour to install Ipod kits.

Now I am more than happy to do this, providing I can get 4-5 cars together over 2 days, then it will make it worth it for me to come over.

I do need to update our website, I seem to have spent far too much time getting the kit off the ground...

Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards

Paralight

 

Got it. Understood and appreciated. I will go to your website and provide my e-mail address. I thought it was a simple "plug-n-play." I did not realize that you engineered, designed and created the kit. Very cool! Maybe there will be enough interest for you to come to the US??? That would be cool. Sounds interesting. I'm not capable of the install and I would not want my mobile audio guy to do it if they have never done it before either. I would much rather have someone who has done this many times work on my car. Peace of mind goes a long way!

Thanks,
Adam
