MP3 / WMA player?

[Guest]

I have a CDR22 with a 6 CD changer in a pre-facelift Boxster S.

What are the options, if any to play WMA / MP3 files;

i. on CDs
ii. on an in car hard drive
iii. input from a potable MP3 player?

i. On CDs by converting the WMA/MP3 to audio CD format and burning them on CD-Rs. Best to compile from your original CDs, so they do not lose the original quality either.

Many thanks.... but doesn't that limit the number of tracks per CD to around 15-20 as per "normal" audio CDs? I have nearly 7000 WMAs / MP3s and was looking for a way to get more of these tracks into the car!

I removed mine and replaced it with this from Halfords so I can use my iPod. They will fit it for free while you wait too. Well worth it.......

Hope this helps.

On a CDR22 (pre-optical), you have the option of getting something like an IPOD with a Dension link which allows you to plug straight in the back of head unit.

Alternatively, if you have room in the centre console, Dension also do the DMP3, which is like a stereo head unit, but again plugs in the back of your CDR22. Hence the reason you need the spare room. This has a whopping 250gb disk - enough for anyone I think.

I was going to get one of these just before I ordered my new car. Unfortunately, the CDR24 in the new car is optical and this Dension unit currently doesn't support it.

Install a Pro-max BN76656 Hdd into the Opti i/p of the cdr22. the octa-link7 protocol and hacked remote supports up to 10,000 discrete tracks on the MY03 car onwards

I have a Dension kit including the proclip available for sale if anyone wants it, I didn't get on with it cos I had a CDR21 in my Boxster as opposed to a CDR22.

Email me for details.
