AVIC-N1 & Changer - No MP3s? |
|
|
Had a question.... The AVIC-N1 is supposed to play MP3s on the head
unit, but if a changer is hooked up, is there a way to get the head
unit to play the MP3s from the changer disks? I have disks that work
fine on the head unit, but when they're in the changer, they give a
status of 'cd-rom' on the display and don't play.
If this configuration does not work, is there any way to get this
functionality, perhaps with a different changer unit?

The changer laser cant read MP3 files.
Did your salesman tell you it would?

think they are cd changers. I have the music keg and love it

only a matter of getting the data from the cd changer to send the data
up to the headend for decrypting what was on the disk... Doesn't it
seem a bit silly for Pioneer to have a headend that accepts all these
different formats, then not have a single changer that you can put
mp3s into?
If that's the case, I see Sony and I think one other offbrand have
"mp3 compatible" changers...maybe alpine had it also...anyone make any
adapters to 'fake out' the headend unit so it thinks there's a pioneer
changer installed, when it's actually another brand that can read mp3
disks?
I'm probably simplifying the whole mp3 car audio process...don't know
much about how the data is handled, so let me know if i'm missing
something...

least I didn't see it on their site the last time i checked..
