Does it sound better than the standard option stereo?

 

Sound? No, not IMO, but it does have the changer so if you listen to a lot of discs at once like on a road trip or something.

It came with my RS1.0, and I'm keeping it (not changing for an aftermarket one), but I'm not sure if I would've otherwise paid for the extra for it.

im thinkin bout gettin it...but i want tha 06 one...all i kno of right now is that tha tune n volume controls r ***** not buttons n ipod capabilty...so no_xB_yet if ur gettin a 05 i would try 2 get a 06 stereo 2...specially if u got a ipod...lol

 

No, it doesn't sound any different at all. The only differences are the ability to load 6 discs and to change the colors on the display. When I ordered my xA, I asked for it to be 100% stock - no options. When I went to pick it up, they had screwed up and installed the 6 Disc changer by mistake. Since I didn't ask for it, they let me keep it for free!! Now...would I have paid extra for it? No. Do I like having it? Yes. I like it so much, that I might actually recommend getting that option if you like to play alot of different discs or if you want to change your interior lighting scheme with neon or LEDs.

 

this may sound like a silly question, but does the display AND the button colors change in the 6 disc changer or just the display?

 

Ummm....I don't remember! I'm at work right now so I'll have to check later. I don't think the buttons change. I'm pretty sure it's just the main display window. It has something like 12 different colors. It's pretty cool. I did my storage "oven" and my cupholders with blue LEDs, and I was able to change the color of the stereo display to blue so it matches.

 

No, the buttons dont change color. Only the display changes color.

I have a stock 6 disc for sale if anyone wants it, $200 shipped

 

If you use the MP3 function, you can actually record 10 or more CD's per recordable cd if you have a burner on your computer. That works out to around 50-60 CD's sitting in your player at any given time.

I bought a program called "Audion MP3 maker" on the net...look it up on Google. It makes it real easy to convert and record your albums.

I especially like this because I don't need to keep any valuable CD's in the car and with having over 50 in there, it's all I need. I don't need to keep a CD case around.

If you can't figure out how to do it, you'll need to find a computer savy person to help you out. It's too hard to explain this way.

^^^^^ I like that idea. And I like my 6 disc player...FWIW.

 

why dont you guys just burn like 4 gigs of songs on one recordable DVD?

 

dont buy a prog to rip mp3's, if you have a burner it comes with nero or roxio... they can rip mp3, freeware are also avaialable. also you can always download mp3's (remix, long versions jokes, audio books.) hehehehe. you can burn at least 150 mp3 songs onto a 700 mb cd-r. imagine 150 songs x 6 disc... that's a lot of music for a road trip. also if youre going to buy a burner, buy a dvd burner and you can copy movies for your dvd player. dvdxcopy will let you burn dvd's. use kaaza lite for p2p downloads or a bittorrent client and sites.

 

So is there a Stand Alone MP3 machine that can burn for you? My CPU is so old, it get's A.R.R.P. discounts...so a stand alone player would be neat, if there is one.

 

it's a good idea but i'm not sure if the pioneer unit will play dvd-r disc plus you will have to use a prog like 'burn now' to write data or mp3 to a dvd disc. hmmmm ill try it now.

 

to rip & burn mp3's you need at least a cd burner/cd writer. also if you are ripping your cd's to mp3's formatyou need high speed internet (dsl, cable, or your t1 line at work) so that it can look up to the database in the net for the artist. album, title so that you can save them by title or artist in to your library. if not you will have an mp3 that will have a title like track 1, track 2... and so on. not cool when you are trying to burn a music selection. i'm not sure if there's a stand alone machine that rip and burn mp3's. pc with cd writer is the preferred way.

 

it will play it as long as its recorded as a mp3 files, not a dvd
