CP600BMW CD changer replacement - anyone familiar?

[Aleong1967]

Ok Great
My ZHP has a cd changer in it right now
So hopefully no issues there
I kept the navi head unit and installed the aux cable in front and added Bluetooth for phone and music streaming
Also added a JL Audio 5 channel amp (700 watt) and a 10 inch sub (separate sub control)
Much better sound quality with the stock speakers, which I will eventually change over
My stereo guys say Hertz is a company, which has a drop in kit for the 3 front door speakers, so I will likely try that next
I'll have to order the CP600 soon

Very tempting to get one of these so if and when my CD changer dies, I can just swap this in it's place...

Just order 1 from eBay
2 vendors available
Mantronics is a pain in the butt to deal with
Difficult to get an answer on shipping to the states

Went with elektronic-idee
They have a better number of satisfied customers
Same pricing as other company
Should get it sometime in the next week or too
Can't wait

I had mine in my Z4MC, swapped it for an E39 M5 in July. Moved it to the M5. On the drive home from Cincy, it was skipping like crazy (which it had been doing in the other car too, though I didn't remember it being so bad). When I got back home, I tried the easiest fix - swap out the SD card. Voila. That was the problem, other card was bad. Works like a champ now.

You'll like it. Great device. Mine was delivered quickly by same vendor you ordered from. You'll like it!

Cool
I'll pick up a high end memory card so I wont have any issues
32 is the biggest card that can be used correct?

[KevinC]

Yes, 32 is biggest. This is the one I bought that works like a champ...

Finally got mine
Had it installed yesterday
Plug and Play
I would say that it is 95% compatible with the factory functions
It was nice the it came with a SD card
Not sure what the other flash drive is for
The only thing that they do not tell you is that WMA (Windows Media) and MP4 files (ITunes) cannot be read by the unit
All the songs need to be converted to MP3 files
There are 6 channels, like the 6 CDs from the CD changer and that is where the music needs to be put
This was trial and error for me to figure out
But it is now working great
I now have a database of 1000 songs on my flash drive, compared to what I had with the 6 CDs
Glad I purchased it
