drphil Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 OK, I've got an SXT with the 6-disc in-dash changer...where are the random and repeat functions??? I'm pretty good at technical stuff and have thoroughly played with the radio in CD mode and read through the manual now cover-to-cover...and no mention of either of these functions!??!!! If I've got the ability to load up 6 discs with plenty of MP3's (well, really I use WMA's, but...) then what's the point if I have to still listen to it all in alphabetical order??! I realize I can always just connect my Sansa (MP3 player)...heck, I've got 4200 songs on there, but I want a random mode on my CD player!!!!! Am I just missing it?!

Hit-By-Thunder Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 here is what I found in the manual for the REU radio (the one with the navigation) and the joystick radio with the nav screen on top of the cosole,... Disc Menu While in disc mode with inserted audio disc, press the MENU button to access the Disc Menu. Check-mark Random to play the titles on the disc in random order. Check-mark Repeat to repeat the currently playing title. Check-mark Normal Play Order to play discs in normal order. Rob/HBT :wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit-By-Thunder Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 this is what I found for the HDD for all your 4000+ songs lol HDD Menu While in HDD mode, press the MENU button to access the HDD Menu. Random Playback The random play function plays random tracks from the hard disk drive. Either check-mark Random to switch the random play function on or off, or check-mark Normal Play Order to turn Random playback off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drphil Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 mine's the standard 6-disc player...no navigation, no hard disc drive. you can actually load this thing up with 6 DVD's filled with 4.7gb's of music each (at this time i just have 5 CD's and 1 DVD just to test its capabilities though). any idea on that one?

Hit-By-Thunder Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 still trying for you............ hmmm seems like the REQ radio (6 disc non sat radio) has no random play, that seems to be very very strange.

Scotty_j Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I have the same issue with using an iPod touch, I can select random on the iPod, and guess what a random button lights up on the car stereo and it plays the list randomly,, but u cant Change that unless u disconnect the iPod and remove the shuffle option via the iPod, then the random light turns off, so if they have the ability to know if it's in random playback, then why the hell did they leave of the random option to select it via the car stereo!!! So annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
