Aaaaaaaargh - Idiot Guide Needed

[hueandcry71]

How do you get the bloody stereo to scroll through your files on the IPOD?? I thought i had cracked it but then didnt drive the car for a week and now i cant figure it out again.

I have the instructions but they dont seem (or maybe im reading them wrong) to do the trick either. I am definitely reading the English version as well.

Basically what i want to do is, plug my IPOD in and scroll through the playlists on there via the stereo, select a playlist / artist, press go and listen. Is this too much to ask??

By the way, it is an Alpine stereo that comes as standard in new registrations.

I can't rememebr the exact button sequence, but basically you scroll through the iPod hierachy until you get to the one you want, e.g. Artist, Album, Playlist etc. then press another button to scroll through the one you have selected, then press another to select. It's all in the Alpine Manual.

Press the middle button to the left of the rotary encoder (it looks a bit like a book) turn the rotary encoder to select the desired menu (Playlist, Artist, Album etc) press the middle button on the left again. Turn the rotary encoder to the desired playlist, album etc then press play.

Just tried to follow the instuctions given above but i think my stereo must be a different model, it doesnt have anything that looks like a book on it or a anything that rotates???
Looks like another night being David Platt off Coronation Street, sitting in the car, in the garage, playing with the stereo with manual in hand.

It's broken. Best trade it in for another car

Funnily enough thats what i was thinking, the car needs washing as well so best to kill two birds with the one stone eh?

How do you control the volume then - that's what Alpine call a rotary controller.

Try pushing the button with a spyglass on it then turn the volume control to the desired artist , album etc, then press play select track, album etc, then play again.

Step 1: Buy and fit Larini Exhaust.

Step 2: Remove stereo and speakers, throw in bin.

Step 3: Enjoy.

Spent megabucks on the Elise stereo getting a good-sounding, lightweight system and barely ever used it...

With the Exige, it's got no stereo, and I don't plan on fitting one... will just carry the iPod in the car on long journeys should the noise get too much

Problem aolved.

I didnt realise that you cant access your IPOD files if the stereo is in "mix" mode.

Yippee. No need to buy a new car now.
