CD changers are common to play up. Usually can be fixed OK I use Max Electronics in Auckland. These changers are an Alpine unit & they are completely familiar with them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 Yep, or that ^^^^^^^ Sorry don't know of anyone down your way but probably any decent radio repairer can do. I use Max because they know those units well. Easy enough to courier it to them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jochen I don't know much about the devise you are sujesting When you say 1ooo songs do you have to buy a card with songs on them or do you have to record some first then use them on the player?

It's an SD card reader. Like all SD card readers on the market: a ) you purchase an SD card of the desired size from your favourite SD card outlet eg Dork Smitch, Jaycar, or any hifi store b ) you stick the SD card in your PC's SD card reader slot and dump as many songs as you can fit on the card, arranged in the order of your preference. Eg: make playlists in iTunes and dump the entire playlist. c ) you go out to the car and stick the SD card in the CP600BMW SD card slot d ) you then enjoy hours of music Edited September 10, 2009 by jochen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) The card reader that Jochen has suggested is a great alternative, however the cost is going to be much higher than getting your old CD stacker repaired. I'll price the reader for you today. Edited September 10, 2009 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
