VF SS Music Questions

[wombat tow]

Completely forgot about this when we looked at the MY16 VF series II SS Black Edition, how many CDs does the player hold?

Also, does anyone use Pandora? Do you have to pay for the service?

Does anyone connect USB drive into the USB port to play music through the system?

Noob questions I know.

you could always look into one of these, which I'm thinking about soon

Those Alpine things look brilliant.
If we didn't have a HUD I'm pretty sure we'd have fitted one by now; but Alpine confirmed it doesn't work with the HUD, so I'm stuck waiting for Holden to release SatNav maps newer than 2012 and watching the MyLink equivalent of "Buffering ..." whenever we turn the car on ...

 

[SuckSqueezeBangBlow]

am I right in thinking the Alpine unit wouldn't do the auto park (not that anyone would be using it) or bi-modal exhaust settings?

I'd be interested to hear about the auto-park, as I suspect that's not done by MyLink & hence probably still works.
It was released for VF originally (and the blurb still talks about using the OEM optical-drive location which I think doesn't exist in VF2) so doubt it does the bi-modal exhaust.

Did they say why it doesn't work with the hud??

I don't trust the auto park, am I betting as long as my arse point to the ground insurance would decline the claim and say you weren't in proper control of the car any thing to get out of paying

It doesn't plug in because they've not configured/designed it to operate the HUD ... the Alpine unit itself won't fail to work, but the HUD won't display any of the speed & SatNav directions stuff.

It won't run you into anything as big as another car; it might run you into the curb, but repairs to a wheel won't be as much as your excess.

Does this actually happen?

I've never used it because I'm terrified it may damage my rims but I thought it was just me being silly and the system is probably better than I give it credit for.

Still I never take the chance.

I don't use it either, for the same reason.
Can't even recall whether someone on this forum had a wheel scraped, or said they'd heard of someone who'd heard of someone who'd once seen a dog owned by the mother-in-law of someone whose third-cousin once heard a wheel being scraped in the next street over.

My wife's work friend hired a car, used the auto park and it hit another car.
Nice huge excess was paid.
