I have the stock evo radio but it dosent read a lot of cd's. DOes anyone else have a problem with this? I have a 8gb cd that I burnt a ton of songs on but it wont read. Does the radio only read certain cd's help!!!!

 

a cd is only 700 MB so 8GB sounds like a DVD dual layer thats why it won't read it. the stock radio won't read MP3's either so it must be an audio CD.

 

ahh alright thanks. I would imagine an evo would atleast have a radio that could read mp3 or atleast have a AUX slot but guess not :/

 

it doesn't even have cruise, come on now... it would have been nice if it did play MP3's but I just upgraded mine to one that does.

 

Dan628, what unit did you end up getting? I want to get an aftermarket head unit, but I would like to have everything still match (regarding the lights).

 

I went with the Eclipse MKII 7200 it lets you change colors and it has an amber color that matches the rest of the stock gauge colors.

 

Im thinking about a pop up but not sure yet

 

hey, im running an alpine ida-x100 headunit, and its pretty beastly. cheapish, and has an aux port, as well as a USB port (which i have running into the glove box).

theres a few other models that are basically the same which can offer bluetooth and the like, but i thought it was overkill.

(and lights are reddish or blue, the red matches quite well)

 

Who told you that you can possibly have a 8Gb cd?

 

Yeah if you get a new radio get one with usb. Then throw away those crappy cds

 

I have a bunch of em they're dvd-R double layers. 7.87gb of space

 

the dvd part is your hint.

 

its a dvd that also allows mp3's most modern radios read mp3 disks

 

what about the ssl h/u? will that read mp3's?

 

Yea, who wants to listen to music with higher resolution.
