Did you buy this car from NorthShore Prestige...? If am not wrong this is a White RX/RS with the Nismo dash?

Not sure about how to control the MD but I will have a look through the manuals that I have and see if I can find any information.

Cheers

Andy

Maybe if you actually supply a photo of the deck he can help, but as I have the single din stereo in my RS I have no idea. I have an Aux button on mine that takes the signal from the analogue tv tuner (oem) in the back of the vehicle.

I wonder if the MD is wired directly into the deck itself or if it's cables run back to the analogue tv tuner?!

There should be a button on the stereo that allows you to play from the md.

press the cd button twice.

has stereo got an aux in?

i can't fathom why you would waste your time on minidiscs. MD was a format which for some reason japan went apeshit for, but didn't take off in the rest of the world. mainly MD is a tempramental and frustrating format, they're like CD's but without the convenience.

this is coming from me - a guy who when i was 15 bought an MD player thinking i was the king shit in high school cos i had an MD player while all the CHUMPS had discmans. two months later. MP3 players came out. for real cheap too.

Society - 1

Rowan - 0

after my bout of self pwnage. i grew up.

car stereos mostly have aux inputs these days. so that external audio source can play in the car speakers, people get their ipod shuffle and plug it in, pimp huh?

well this is where Rowan gets his own back on society.

another thing japan went apeshit for that never took off in rest of the world. is the sony PSP.

PSP can store 16G mem cards. has a neat sized LCD / LED hidef screen, and plays any and all media formats.

music

movies

games

music videos

you name it. it plays it.

cool thing about PSP is when playing music - it has about 6 different visual displays which generate from the music, from graphic EQ display to rolling landscapes which suit to music.

you drag n drop music / movies / tv shows / whatever onto the PSP. plug the line in to your aux player. make some makeshift hooks to hold the PSP over your stereo. you have a complete media centre with a 5/6in hidef screen. with an impressive interface and graphic EQ that will trump ANYTHING made my alpine / pioneer. it's SO easy to do.

there's also a GPS satnav receiver you can buy for the PSP so you can also use it as your GPS

when you're finished driving, simply unplug the PSP. take it with you and play some sonic the hedgehog. use it as an MP3 player, call your friends on SKYPE etc.

want more music? simply plug it into your computer and drag and drop files.

same goes with movies

most people sell their PSP2000 models for DIRT cheap these days - I personally bought a new PSP3000 model (cos it's the slimmer version - also has a larger screen and higher definition)

there's now the PSPGO too which is an even smaller more compact unit.

why try to force the minidisc format to make you happy when for $300(maximum) you have a complete media centre which just plugs into your existing system?

=) sorry to go off topic but i just don't see why you would waste your time trying to make it work... (in my eyes) you may as well be asking "how do i get my 7" 45's to play in my car using the turntable?" haha

He just bought something and it is not working as it should be, so he just tried to fix it, nothing wrong?!?!

a better pic for the dash will be good, I can show it to my japanese friend.

[Bis-e Bee]

press the cd button twice.

x2 if Chris tells you this is how to get it to play through the stereo he know's what he is talking about.

[Mr Eps]

ahhahaha

my sincerest apologies guys...

actually i clicked the thread...

read

"hey guys I just got my stagea!

but I dont know how to get the MD to work"

soon as i saw the

MD

bit

i kinda just had one of those rage blackouts reminiscing of when i paid $590 odd duty free for a sony portable minidisc player...

all i know is everything went white and when i woke up i was here?

[whitestag]

I've got no 'cd' button. I got 'disc' but that doesn't work. I've got the double din player( Bose option)

Can be seen in BlaQ.Boi's pic. I have same MD setup aswell

[Chris Rogers]

yank it out then...

[whitestag]

I guess I give up on the md. 6 cd good enough.

Managing the content on MD's is a pain any how I had my MD stacker ripped out the other week, I never had it functioning either. It's free'd up my centre console so I can actually use it to store stuff!
