C4 Sx Stereo/radio/cd Player

Surely it can play MP3 CD's you have burned yourself, right?

 

The official equipment specifications on the website are a bit vague. However I know it definitely is not MP3 player/ipod compatible.

It will play MP3's that are encoded to be regular CDA audio files fine.

 

Some however will actually play MP3's from a data disc only way to find out is to test it.

 

The unit is iPod compatible as well but you have to buy an extra part for that either cheap way which just involves plugging it into the headphone out works out around £15 + a little of your time. This way works for all MP3 players.

 

Or the expensive way which is around £120 and some time again. But that allows full integration of the ipod meaning it will charge and you can change tracks on the ipod via steering controls etc. Think this way is iPod only.

You can play MP3s but they do need to be burned in a ceratin way.

 

There's details on the C4Owners website.

 

As regards playing an iPod/Walkman/solid state MP3 player, there are two options.

 

1. USB Box gives Apple iPod integration, so you can control your iPod remotely from the steering wheel or the radio controls. It costs about £140 retail + fitting + activation (discounts available). Sound is good. It also charges the iPod.

 

 

2. The Auxillary Input is sound only, costing around £20 + installation and activation. This is sound only via a simple jack or phono, and requires a healthy, preferably from a pre-amp, input signal. The headset output from an iPod is weak, and you will need turn the RD4 up to full volume to hear it.
