GPS MP3 Player

I've had my SX4 crossover for a week now, and no problems, other than the door to the GPS compartment getting stuck in the open position. (I was able to fix it myself, a small pin on the left side of the door needed to be pushed back in place).
I saw in the GPS manual that you can use it to play MP3's through the radio, and it works great, I loaded up a bunch of songs on a SD memory card, so I may end up not using the CD player as much. (it uses an FM transmitter, which can experience interference, but I live in a city and have had no problem).
Oh, and did you know this car is marketed as a Fiat Sedici in Europe?

Yeah, I've read that Fiat was mostly responsible for the SX4/Sedici styling. The engine and underpinnings are all Suzuki on both cars, though, except that with the Sedici you can get an optional Fiat diesel engine. Too bad that isn't offered here.

I bought one today and the saleswoman warned me if you push the lid back too far it will need "reset" by the service department. She accidentally did that when she showed me how to use it.
Sure enough I drove the car home and when I took the GPS off the cradle I pushed it back too far.
So I would guess that this is a common ( and definitely annoying) problem.

Hi My ID says it all. I'm in NS, Canada, in winter snow country, get off-road to forests and beaches so I use the AWD Lock alot. I've had my SX4 AWD, JLX Hatchback since March 2007 and I love it. I've got 79,000 km (50000m) on it. Only one maintenance problem, right rear wheel bearing, happily replaced under drive train warranty at about 65,000km. (might be related to my trailer that I pulled for 5000km) Mine is an automatic and heavy hill climbing around the NS coast does require me to shift it like a standard from time to time. Last winter in a big snow storm I covered up the front air intake holes, locked in the AWD and drove out my 900 ft laneway through 16 inches of soft snow with it rolling up over the hood and off the windshield. How cool is that? Just wish I had a video. Take it on the snow covered roads and it handles very well. Compared to a Nissan Versa or other small hatches it is rock solid on the highway. The automatic does get better mileage on the highway than the standard but it is best without the cruise on because the engine revs higher on the hills to keep the set speed. Call me biased but I had a 94' Suzuki Sidekick with 330,000km on it when I sold it after 12 years.

I have done that. I was interested in this particular owners experience.

My experience is much the same as others. I drive it fairly hard but get 20 city - 30hwy most of the time. On a long trip from Ottawa ON to NS I got 32-33. Lot of flat country through Ontario and Quebec on the TransCanada.
