You'll probably be able to find some 16gb flash sticks on eBay for about 10/15 quid, but I usually go to computer fairs to buy this kind of stuff and you can pick 'em up dirt cheap.

I'm not quite sure what an MPR file is, but it certainly would play MP3 and WMA files. I'm not sure about the limit, but I should think that there is no limit - just how much you can store on yoru flash stick I think..


I'm gonna be calling the place that sells this device later on, and will ask them these questions, along with some of my own. Will post back and let you know what they say.

Just a quick update on this lads. Tried calling the place that sells these today, but the guy who deals with them wasn't in, so gonna call him up tomorrow!

OK, I managed to get in touch with the guy. I sent him these questions via e-mail:

1. Which lead would I require for my car (Seat Leon Cupra 2004)? I have a standard Seat CD Changer fitted in my glove compartment and is hooked up to my Standard Aura head unit. I’m unsure as to whether it’s the VAG-T, VAGS or VAGD.
2. Where does this lead connect to? The back of the CD Changer or the back of the head unit? Is it difficult to install?
3. If I have the GROM USB-2 device connected, will my CD Changer still work?
4. What’s the maximum size USB flash stick you can attach to it? I have a 16GB flash stick - will this work?
5. Is there a limit on how many files you can store on the USB? i.e. If I had 4000 songs spread across 6 directories, will it be able to access all 4000? Or can it only access a certain amount?
6. Does it read MPR or M3U (windows media playlist file) from a USB flash stick?


He replied with the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. VAGS
2. The back of the head unit, it's quite easy to install providing you
can remove the stereo (removal pins may be required, but can be purchased
from Halfords etc)
3. No, it's one or the other as they both use the same connection
4. Yes up to 32GB, so however many tracks you can fit into that capacity.
5. Please see the attached instruction manual
6. MP3 and WMA

I hope this answers your questions ok but if you need to know anything else
then please don't hesitate to ask.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Re: no. 5, there is a manual on his website, and i've just checked and it's pretty straight forward how you sort the tracks out on the USB stick.


I think i'm gonna go for it! Gonna order it tonight and will let you know when I get it and what it's like. The good thing is, it comes with the 3.5mm jack lead as well, so if you don't want to use a USB flash stick, you can just use an iPod or MP3.

Comes across as a real bargain at £100.

Cheers for the help lads.

Really? Excellent. Do you have a link for one please?

Bear in mind, the Aura head unit does not have an Aux connection at the back of the head unit..

.. so it would have to connect to the CD changer socket. This is the only one I could find that could fit to the CD changer socket, that's why I was interested in it.

But if you know any other kits that connect to the CD changer socket, please can you provide a link for one? I want to ideally connect a USB flash drive with MP3s on it.

Cheers.

Yeah, I know that there are cheap head units out there, but I don't want to take the original Aura one off'cos I want to keep the whole dash as standard. I prefer it that way.

And yes, if you have a picture, can you upload it on here mate?


Thanks.

Have you got the Connects 2 one installed mate? What's it like? Had any problems with it?

Cheers

 

[LEE69]

I have a connects2 mate, the 3.5mm jack goes into my iphone and it is all controlled of that, i just have to press the 6cd/changer button on the headunit.

 

[RVP09]

Cheers pal. I'll get that then.

Incidentally, when I take my CD changer out, is there a kit out there you can get to cover the hole left by the CD changer with some sort of plastic cladding? i.e. so the glove compartment actually looks like a proper glove compartment inside lol
