Any ideas as to why this may be occuring?
Thanks
And also I've never had component speakers before, I'm looking at the MB Quart RCE 216. Are they hard to install for someone who knows nothing about component speakers?
I knew it was going to be something dumb on my part..
How do you take the dash apart to get it in there?
I am in the process of putting some tunes in my Yaris S and am wondering if you have any pix of your install? I have a Infinity 6 ch amp and am in the process of buying speakers, but am unsure where to mount the amp, hopefully without taking up too much room in the trunk.
Thanks!
This is way behind the times technologically. Is there another CD player made today that won't play multisession CD's?
To make matters worse, the Yaris manual implies the CD/MP3 will play multisession. On page 145 you will find the following: “It is possible to play back multi-session compatible recorded disks.” I argued with the dealer for awhile and finally wrote to Toyota Customer Experience. The answer I finally got was that the problem is a "design flaw", not a defect, so it isn't covered under warranty.
If curious to know if the Scion stereos have the same "design flaw". They appear to be the same size and are probably made by the same manufacturer.

I installed Polk 6.5" component speakers in the front, with the tweeters on the top door sills, and 6.5" Polks in the rear as coaxials. The amps are mounted on a board where the spare tire used to be (priorities), and the subwoofer is an eight-inch Kicker in a homemade box.
I'm not sure whether to opt for it, or just go with an aftermarket system with powered subwoofer. No, I'm not looking to impress anyone or boom out the hood as I drive. I just want to satisfy myself with power (say about 300 watts, not including the sub) and not have to deal with a lame Toyota unit.
Please inform. I'd sure appreciate it!
Peace!
I'm not sure if I should opt for it, or go with an aftermarket system. I want at least 300 watts, not counting the subwoofer. :shades: No, I'm not looking to impress anyone as I boom along the hood, so to speak. But I do want to satisfy myself with strong audio, and not just a lame Toyota system.
I'd appreciate any 4-1-1 on this.
Many thanx-
Peace!
I only seek a reply to my original question, not a rude editorial from an oaf. . .
The Ford Focus, for example, has an Sony audio system option
rated at 500 watts, with subwoofer. There are many vehicles from different brands offering even MORE power in either a standard or optional system. My wanting a powerful system doesn't mean that I'll zoom and boom through the hood. Ask any audiophile and he/she will tell you that the more power a system has, the more it will reproduce at low levels of volume. The obvious sarcasm in your statement proves your ignorance in this aspect.
If I decide upon going with aftermarket I will do so, and if I feel like booming out the hood then I will, eventhough that is NOT my style. It seems you have no concept of what pimping out a ride is all about, and you probably don't even know what I'm talking about. But it doesn't matter.
I do hope that someone truly in the know will reply to my simple original question.
Case closed with you-
Peace!
It does play MP3's though, and for a factory "base" radio it isn't bad.
I'd say in the end you can always build yourself a better stereo than the factory for less $$$ (minus obscure speaker placement in pillars etc...).
There's a guy in the forum that did MB Quarts for a couple hundred bucks and said it was a drastic improvement.
I may try it myself

That's exactly the amount of power I thought the optional stereo would produce. Lame! :sick:
I appreciate your replying.
Aftermarket is where it's at, speaking for myself-
Peace!
For those not thumping it's actually decent for a small car (and it plays MP3's), but it certainly ain't 300 watts.

will the ipod charge btw?
THANKS :confuse:
I have a 2007 hatchback with the upgraded stereo system. I love that you can read the text and file names associated with a song when playing an MP3 CD. However I hate that longer file names/song names/artist names get cut off on the display. is there anyway to have the display scroll across the thing? or better yet is there rhyme or reason for each display? I have MP3s that have the title and artist in the file name and when i put it on the CD and try and listen to it in the car I get some thing like "MP3 Track 12" on all the text displays and I have no idea what i'm listening to (especially if I acquired the song by downloading means where nothing is labeled correctly)
in other words what exactly does each text setting refer to when creating the CD? ultimately Id like to be able to customize exactly what the display says so i cant tell what which track of which album of which artist in which folder I'm listening to. any ideas for harmonizing the yaris and computer?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

PS: I LOVE MY CAR!
I think it explains most of that in the owner's manual. I think it said that you hold down the text button for a few seconds and then it will scroll through all of the text. It also explains what it is displaying and in what order. It will display the folder, actual file name, artist name, album title, mp3 tag, etc... You can manually change all of that information on your computer before you burn the mp3 to your compact disc.

My problem is, for example, I burned a CD with 2 playlists (folders). Two months later I want to add another playlist to the CD, and when I put it in, it plays all the songs that were there, but not the new ones. This also happened with a CD with no folders at all; it won't play the new burned files.
I have checked the CDs in another MP3 CD player and they sound fine.
Is the CD player incapable of doing so or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you.
Thanks for the help
i tried to make a mp3 cd for the car with for diffrent folders on the disc and it will only play one of the four folders. I am using creative zen media source 5 .
if anyone can give me some help or tips would be great !!!
thanks
