That's it exactly.

For music options, not counting the CD changer in the trunk, I now have:
- Aux input for my 80 GB video iPod, conveniently in center console w/ power
- CompactFlash slot (which I'm using and love)
- In-dash CD (which does read MP3, WMA files)
- Music Box SoW
- Satellite Radio

The CD changer is completely superfluous, and just takes up valuable trunk space. I haven't used it yet, and probably never will. Most of my CD's are on my iPod. If i get a new CD from the store that I want to listen to right away, or for books-on-CD, I've got the in-dash CD.

Kinda wish they left the CD-changer out.

Let me get this straight - the CD Changer in the trunk (for those w/ Nav) DOES NOT PLAY MP3 CD'S???? My car is scheduled to arrive in March, so someone please confirm this.

Correct, the trunk-mounted CD changer does not play MP3's or WMA's, just standard audio CD's.

Trust me, it's not worth cancelling the car order over. You can still listen to MP3's:
- On in-dash single CD player
- On iPod or MP3 player through Aux input
- On CompactFlash card
- Ripped to internal hard drive (Music Box / SoW)

That's retarded. Why the hell didn't they just put a CD Changer with MP3 capability. What the hell am I supposed to do w/ a CD CHanger that only plays audio CD's when I can rip the audio CD's to the harddrive???

I have a feeling that CD changer in the trunk will go bye bye in a year or two.

The system will only recognise the first 512 songs on your CF card, so I would recommend that you pick up a couple of 2GB cards rather than a 4GB or 8GB.

Confirmed.

I bought an 8 GB card (two actually) and filled it up. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why it only showed part of the files until I read about the 512 song limitation - which appears to be spot on.

Buggy system, but still awesome.
