    i have never burned 100+ tracks to CD - isnt it a pain flicking thru 70 or 80 tracks to get to the album you want?? Or am i missing a trick?

    well you would normally keep them in an album folder so each folder contains say 15 tracks, so you would only need to flick back and forth between these, to the left of the volume knob there is a button to the top left and bottom left they enable you to skip back and forth to the next album, hope this makes sense

    I picked up two from my local Argos, I decided to check both whilst at the store to check I was getting the 30RN model. On opening both boxes had Sony head units in but a JVC case and faceplate. Obviously this won't work. Has anyone else had this problem? Sods law they were the last 2 in stock!

    I've got one, its lovely. From the Southampton High Street branch.

    Word of warning, anyone fitting to a seat / vw model (after 95) then they either need to swap two wires or buy an adaptor. If you don't then the unit loses its memory after turning the car off.
