Car Mini Disc with MDLP capability....?

[Jonny_]

In 2002 or thereabouts I bought a single-DIN Sony Minidisc head unit for my Fiat Punto. That definitely played MDLP discs; this was a very handy feature in the car as I could cram 4 albums onto each Minidisc, this saving space and reducing the number of times I had to swap discs!

A quick trawl through Google photos suggests that the model number was MDX-CA680X.

I did briefly consider fitting it to my own Capri, but couldn't bring myself to cut the dash panel to accommodate it.

(Must have a look in the attic and see if I've still got it. Knowing my luck I'll have either the unit or the detachable faceplate, but not both...)

Totally agree with this.

I have an MD head unit in my 2005 E91:

Ive just bought ten of those discs in a bundle. There eleven BASF Maxis too - who buys eleven?!?

Theyre the original 80min disc, Made by Sony and sold in Japan as the 80m Prism Long Time.

Not sure how I missed this thread but I too refuse to acknowledge the demise of minidisc, hoping to pickup a changer at some point.
