Default Does the 500 Shaker play MP3 CDS only or Even DVDs?

Well, as topic:
Does the 500 Shaker System only play CD's with MP3 or will it even play DVD-R:s with MP3's on them?

if it can't play DVD's then it can't play DVD-R/RW or any of the DVD formats.

And it doesn't play DVD's at all?

(Havn't gotten my Mustang yet, so havn't been able to try!)

The system plays MP3s, it will not play DVDs. The head unit in the Mustang is just about the worst feature of this car. In addition to being unrelaible, it just sounds like garbage. Get your Mustang and rip out the factory system "skipper" system.

It does include an AUX out, so just run a PIE output switch and hook up your iPod. It will still sound awful, but at least it does not skip every 10 minutes.

My stereo has never skipped.

Neither has mine. Must admit, I'm surprised.

Yep, I've never had a single problem with my stereo.

My 500 has not skipped either, but I have noticed that if a song continues into the next track that there is a 1-2 second pause before it continues to play. What's up with that?

On your own Media or on Bought CD:s?

Cause if you Burn them, you have to use "Disc-at-once" otherwise they will pause when loading the next track.
