Does anyone know if it will play non normal cds?
i.e: cd-r/cd-rw, i know my wifes explorer will play cd-r and its a 2000. so wondering if this radio will. Supposed to be getting an MS3 but i want to make a cd for the drive home! yes i know lame but oh well.

also I am asking about the SPORT MODEL. not the gt bose one.

Thanks

It will play most CD-R's, however sometimes they won't play all brands. I've personally not had any problems in my changer. also make sure you don't put any printed (stick on) labels on them as they can jam the changers.
 
Sorry Alien quick question on your thread. In the GT does the stock radio play mp3 files?

In the US unless a dealer takes pity on your and puts in a Mp3 deck out of the kindness of their hearts before you buy the car then it doesn't come with a Mp3 deck.

In the US the Mp3 player is a dealer accessory and you have to buy it separately.

Which is useless b/c it costs $500+ and you now have an extra HU. (The mp3 player is a whole new HU, which is why it's priced so). The GT should come with an aux jack, then you can plug in an MP3 player/iPod.

All 2007 models come with a 3.5mm input in the armrest console. ;)
 
thanks for response peep, i picked it up but the cds were int he wifes car.
but i did grap my cdrw and they play fine, and yeah there is an aux jack in the deep part fo the center armrest but i like that it is a 2 part consol and that you you actually have an aux input on a stock radio.
 
Yep even the sport MS3 has an auxilary jack for an iPod/cell phone which is pretty nice at no extra cost. No reason to bring all those cds into the car anymore...saves weight!
