That sucks.

Can you load MP3 CDs/DVDs as well?

Yeah I just burn mp3s to a CD and pop that in.

The drive can also read DVDs, so it might be possible to burn the MP3s to a dvd-r and play off that. Haven't tested it but don't see why it wouldn't work.

That's good to hear.

What's the capacity of the HDD?

Can you create playlists using the music stored in the HDD?

How do you manage the songs? Let's say you want to delete an album. Do you have to individually delete all the songs or can you delete the entire album in one go?

drive is a toshibe 30 gig item split 10/10/9. there are people that are hacking them (look at mg37.com and toss toshiba hard drive into the search key.) to take bigger drives.

as for managing the thing - no idea. I have a spare 30gig drive here that I intend to fiddle with at some point. (yes it has V36 software on it.)

Same here, I should try DVD at some stage.. CD with MP3s were more then enough for me at this stage. It is only a weekend toy.

I found you have to delete one song at a time. My car was delivered with the usual Japanese favorites, ABBA The Beatles etc and lots of Japanese songs. I then found a way to erase all the songs on the drive in one go but as i had no clue what I was reading on the screen i guess i got lucky. You can also play music from the compact flash card reader. So far I have tested and recognised an 8 gig card. not sure if it actually sees all 8 gig though as i only had a few albums on to test.

Any english instructions on which buttons to press to delete/copy?

While the song is playing press the icon on the touch screen in the bottom left corner. That takes you to a menu on which you select the second option from the top. Then it asks you in Japanes to confirm delete and you change from no to yes (in Japanese). It's fairly easy but time consuming to delete individual songs.

If your brave (like me) i messed around until i got an option to delete something and selected yes or no again. It then deleted all songs from the hard drive and i am guessing it said please wait (in Japanese) on the screen because it locked up for 30 seconds or so. I probally couldn't find it again and would have to play for a while. Are you in Vic?

Honestly, it's a little bit of a pain in the ass, but once they are loaded in it works great.

I simply just used my itunes to burn 10-20 CD's then just loaded them in one by one over the week till they were all in there...

Another option is just to bluetooth stream from your ipod/iphone (which works great also).

There is also a step up from this which is the ipod connection but unfortunately from what i can tell an ipod adapter for the V36 doesn't seem to exist

(with the cable in the US you can actually control your ipod via our scroll wheel and touchscreen)

I bought the overpriced iphone composite cable so I usually just play music off that now or watch my itunes stuff on the screen

MP3 cd will play but doesn't record, can't be bothered trying to load them

Cds will auto record if I haven't played them before

music box came with contemporary j-music which is fun to listen to when I want a change in music

only found out how to delete tracks one at a time, tried the same trick in the music box overview screen with all the album names but no luck

any idea what the limitation on the cf cards are?

i loaded about 13gb worth of songs onto a 16gb cf card. the player can on see the first 37 folders :(

other than that, it works great btw.. instant load just like the hdd. no waiting for discs to spin up.

Think there is a max number of songs it can read something like 512

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
