IPOD? I know it's been asked 1000 times

[987gator]

987 and MP3's. It took a few tries ( I must have made a wrong format CD the first 2 tries or something), but I was able to get the 987 with PCM to read an MP3 disk. It is on a 2005 with an April Build Date (I read early 987's with PCM missed the MP3 capability). I only have 99 songs on it, as I read somewhere if you go over 99 songs in a folder, it may not recognize the disk. Maybe you had over 99 songs, and that is why it did not play the disk.

The PCM display will show folder, so when I have time I am going to try and put several folders on a CD and see what happens. The PCM display will also show the band, album, song, genre. It will also allow an alphabetical sort of the all the bands and songs. Not as conveniant as an IPOD, but a few CDs could certainly hold hundreds of songs.

If only there was a way to get XM in the car, other than the Suncoast Porsche Cayenne PCM retrofit which is probably a $1500 solution. That is what I really want.
