Default When reading the manual save's time.

In Adelaide for a short break and to speed up running in Terry, lol. Bought some cheap cd'd only to discover the Terry no longer has a 6 cd stacker. Embarrassed to say it only took 10 minutes before I finally pulled out the manual while sweating in the hotel car park heat. I'm assuming this also changed for FGii upgrade.? I'm going to "hire" my daughter to load our cd collection onto the iPods when we get back. Happy New Year to all!

Can be the other way around as well. Blew a fuse in the Focus and the manual is useless. The description of how to locate and access the fuse box is vague, as is the picture - if there even was one?

The service department at the dealership I called was also clueless and as much help as the manual. Worked it out by trial and error in the end.

USB and an audio jack as well. Plus when iPod hooked up album covers appear on screen.

Since going the iPod route, I haven't played a cd in a car for at least three years.

The MA Mondeo had a 6 stacker, and I loaded it up with CDs when I got it and took those same CDs out when I sold it. They were mp3s which had a few albums on them. Because it only had the 3.5 aux jack, I rarely used the iPod.

Now with the Territory and XR, I listen to the iPod all the time.

actually if it wasn't for the cd sale across from where I had breakfast, bought 10 for $40 I would never even have realised the SZ didn't have a 6 stacker compared to our departed '08 G6ET.

A single press of the "select" button brings up the next track....haven't tried anything else and the bar downstairs is too good that I haven't found time to pick-up the manual again,

When the owners handbook is the size of a paperback novel, they can't be surprised when fewer and fewer people read it in detail...
