| Anyone know how to or has gotten an aftermarket piece that I can use in my new CR-V to change from XM to Sirius? I know you can do it with Lexus/Toyota, but am I able to do it in the new CR-V with navigation? | |

Replying to: mikala_sf (May 04, 2007 10:39 pm) I was able to load about 980 songs on the card. 4GB is perfect for the 999 file limit that Honda imposes. I'm still trying to tweak how to best arrange the songs on the card in the folder. The great thing is that it will display the Artist, Title and Album name on the screen. That's just awesome!! But I can tell you this. The sound quality is awesome!! It totally blows away using your iPod through the mp3 aux jack. This is pure uncompromised sound coming directly from your mp3 file to the stereo. For about $60, I essentially have a 4GB iPod equivilent loaded into my CRV. Finally, the navigation of searching through the 999 files is great. There is a keyword search where you can type in a partial keyword and it will find all songs that match that keyword. Type in "MAD" and it will retrieve all your Madonna songs for example. Then, you can just select which song you want to listen to and it starts playing immediately. Once the Flash Card loads for the first time and reads the file structure, access to any and all the songs is instantaneous. No lag switching between songs. If you love your music and can live with a 999 file limit, then the PC Card is your best solution to getting the best quality music and functionality out of the system. Leave your iPod at home!!

I am really upset. I just found out that the 6 disc CD Changer not only won't play mp3/wma files, but it won't even play a CD-R CD. That is the most absurd thing I've ever seen. The stock unit in the other models have a built-in 6 disc changer that can play mp3 files. However, the only cd's you can put in the seperate changer in the center console is retail CDs. You can't even play CD-Rs in the unit. This is not stated anywhere on their website or at the dealership. It's only stated in the manual. I feel like I've been cheated. Does anyone know if you can swap out the Honda changer for an aftermarket brand that will play mp3 files?? Thank God the stereo system has the PC Card. At least I've got that working and have a 4GB card in there holding nearly 1,000 songs. |

Replying to: rrbhokies (May 23, 2007 8:32 pm) I don't honestly know if this will work for your unit (my regular EX, no leather, no nav is coming in this week), but here's the experience that I had with a CD player I had that specifically said that it wouldn't play CD-R's... Try different brands of CD-R's - I found with my CD player (which was an Alpine) that those CD-R's that were specifically "Music CD-R's" seemed to work a lot more consistently in my CD player. Additionally, better quality brands like Imation and Sony tended to work better than others, especially the non-branded "value" CD-R's from CompUSA, but YMMV.

No commerical CD player that is not specifically designed to play CD-Rs will play CD-R's that are not closed. You have to make sure you close the burning session (e.g. no addidtional burns allowed after finishing) and make sure you use quality blanks. Taiyo Yuden, Ricoh... As long as it says on the box that they are made in Japan, you got quality blanks.

Replying to: blueiedgod (May 24, 2007 4:50 am) Is anyone aware of an integrated Bluetooth solution? One that will interact w/the Navi and display call/phone on the screen?

Honda offers bluetooth in the navi system for models sold in the EU. Details are at www.hondahandsfree.com or by going to one of the Honda EU sites such as honda.es or Honda.de. They do not offer bluetooth in any Honda for sale in the States. I think this is due to marketing, as they want you to buy the Acura instead. I believe Acura is a North America only product, they disable the bluetooth functionality in North American Honda models to try and up sell you to the Acura. So bluetooth functionality is probably either already coded into the States navi firmware and has been disabled, or maybe it is not in there in which case maybe you could load the E.U. firmware version to get bluetooth. The question is if all of the hardware needed (i.e. bluetooth RF transceiver and/or additional buttons on steering wheel) is in the States model or not. I have been trying to locate steering wheel pictures of an E.U. model CRV with navi to see if there are two additional steering wheel buttons or not. If they are required but missing from U.S. models then it obviously won’t work. People have been hacking the navi system to change graphics, eliminate the warning screens, etc. Is there anyone out there who has the time to get in there and see if there is a region byte or something like that to enable bluetooth? Or look to see if there is a bluetooth code module in the U.S. firmware? Honda should really consider selling bluetooth as an upgrade to the navi in the States. They already have the product developed and available for sale everywhere else. People in this forum are willing to buy aftermarket products to add bluetooth, so why would Honda not want to collect that revenue by selling a product they already have? |

For some reason, I copied all of my songs off my PC (I burned them originally into Itunes, then transferred onto PC from CD) but they are MPEG4. I copied them but PC card slot in CRV wont recognize any music on the card? Anyone have an idea? DO i need to re rip all the CDs to the compact flash card? help.
