Head Unit Scroll mp3 name/folder name?

carl0s · 26th June 2008, 09:05

Hi guys. My Civic arrived yesterday

I am burning mp3 CDs now. I wonder though, is it possible to scroll the display? For example, it shows:
"Chrome Smoke & B >"

which could be any of Chrome Smoke & BBQ CD1, CD2, CD3 or CD4.

It doesn't auto-scroll like I thought it would.

Anybody know?

thanks very much,
Carl.

Press and hold the "disp" button for the rest of the text. And maybe read the manual...

I got all the way up to the maintenance section last night! I thought that was pretty good going. I obviously missed some important bits though

thanks very much!

I found that part of the manual now

Shame it doesn't just scroll it back and to automatically.

Also noticed that the folder numbers are going "2, 4, 6" etc instead of 1, 2, 3. It's not due to DRM unplayable files I don't think.
Nevermind, it's still very good. Like having a multi-changer.

Sorry, did not mean to be rude.

The radio/CD features are actually quite complex, but play around with it and it gets easy. Also do a search on this forum for MP3 CD as there is a special way (actually a sort in iTunes) of burning the discs first so that various albums are sorted into separate folders.

I just have each album in its own folder, and it looks to work just fine! The files also have id3 tags as well.
I don't have iTunes (Fedora desktop here).

It's good though, I like it. The car's not bad either, although the drivers door bows when closed, like a big van door or something

Congrats on the new car by the way!

Sorry should have said that first.

Which one is it anyway?

Thanks! It's a 3dr 2.2 type-s GT. I really like it. It's a bit red though. Maybe should've gone for Blue or Black

Red is the best!

hm... what about auto-scroll?!
Tapping the DISP button is not a good idia.
