So you already converted the CDs to MP3?

Great so that work is done. You won't have to do that again.

So instead of copying them to a USB stick, put them on a Bluetooth Mp3 player like your phone and there you have it.

Be sure and back them up of course, preferably to the cloud.

That way you can easily download them to other music playing devices.

Another option is Spotify.

You use the cloud as the storage repository - your "master library".

Then you can copy some of them to Bluetooth or USB devices to play disconnected from the Internet.

just got it...by NAV I meant the screen in the dash...still trying to get the included app (which is on a disc) to run in the car. the unit lights up, the disc goes in, then pops out after a few seconds. engine not running, I just hit the start button to light up the dash...will try with engine running tomorrow, maybe that is the issue...

lol...I got it to work, sounds good without the engine on. Once I get on the road and experience all that road noise those bits and bites won't mean a thing.....

I did mange to extract the files list off the included disc, nothing there of any consequence...just the read/write Android files which don't open with any program. had to rename the files with a .zip program.

Not sure if I am going to give the seller + feedback because he stated the unit will play music videos.......

Any updates from those who purchased one of these how well you like it now that you have had it a while? The sound quality? Does it skip going over normal bumps in the road?

Where did you mount it? How do you change tracks and go to the next song? Does it work properly through the C7 stereo controls and the steering wheel controls? Etc, etc.

Thanks

very nice addition...sound quality is great...no skips, I just keep it on the passenger seat next to the console...the cord is short, so you almost have to. yes, you can skip using the fast forward button on the dash...click media to start it...media button is on your stock unit, if you've never used it, like me! lol not a big deal that it won't play videos...I will test a standard player too later on...if it also works, the chinese one is going back....my standard unit was $10.....

I velcroed mine to the transmission tunnel. Sounds great, works fine and no skips. Cord reaches USB port in console. Discrete.

Pleased with purchase.

I listen to the same one for months....

If you must know, I keep about 5 in the trap door....as I said many times, the C7 environment while driving down the road is not musically suitable for listening....too much road noise etc. the bits and bites do not matter unless you are at home on your audio system. but, you already knew that, correct?

Well there you go. Just copy those 5 CDs to whatever. You don't need to do the other 195.

If you do that, you wont even have to switch out the disk to change songs.
