Do they not play MP3's CD.. I just today decided to try on in my car.. it's looks like it's playing but, no sound is heard?

 

I have an '07, so this may not apply, but the 6 disc changer seems to be audio CDs only. I tried an MP3 CD with no luck, then went through the manual. There was nothing there about the 6 disc setup being MP3 compatible. I burned an audio CD and it works just fine.

 

in S1 8's there were 3 different types of cd players..

1. the normal single disc player

2. the normal 6 disc player

3. the mp3/normal player

Im not sure what all is availiable in the s2's but my guess from what your telling me you have one that does not play mp3's

 

R3 does not support MP3
I just use aux port and my iPhone
read your manual it says pretty clear in it.

 

Has anyone tried these little units?

If the RX stereo has the CD changer plug in the back it would open up a heap of possibilities for music.

 

is it good quality tho...? Most FM solution sounds crappy...with statics and all..

 

It's not an FM transmitter, it plugs into the CD changer port supposedly.

I haven't taken my stereo out to see if there is one, is anyone familiar with the back of RX8 stereos and does it have this socket?

 

it does have the external CD changer plug, and this is nothing new... devices similar to this have been using that plug for years.

the quality issue lies in bitrate of your files and proper decoding along with electromagnetic shielding. i've seen a few devices including my own, and they all produce a background hum

 

One of the pictures on there shows that its an Audio Link.

Same thing lots of people have been using here, it works good.

Do a search for Audio Link or maybe audiolink.

 

The auction said to check the version number of the stereo, it has to be 9.55-10.00.

Mine is 9.50! Gutted, looks like this won't be an option for me, not sure if it has to do with the plug or software/hardware thing.

 

My 2009 RX-8 R3 seems to have a 6 disc MP3 player.. It plays MP3s anyway.. The only thing is if you have a folder with only a couple songs on it it loops in that folder until you press the button to hop folders.. (the same as the disc change button).
