how i hope they'll ship to the UK, thats exactly what i've been wanting!

Wardy · 11-07-2008, 00:18

Yes on the shipping. Hit the link underneath the price:

"Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland - 12€"

Shame that the Euro is fairly strong against the £ at the moment though. Ah well, still a pretty good price for what it is.

check out iPod CD changer adapter, VW iPod, Music Link, xCarLink too
they have very similar units and also a version that includes Bluetooth and mic for phone functions

Would be interested to know if anyone has one of these units(from either place)

I've seen the original xcarlink on a couple of mazda3s and the guys are pretty happy. no feedback about the bluetooth one. Must pop onto the US site to find out.

I wonder if you are limited to 6 folder being as its plugs into the CD Changer, i certainly hope not

if you can plug any usb device in without having to rename folders etc i'd be well chuffed

I have the device. Been using it for the past few weeks now and I can strongly recommend it.
The sound quality is excellent, it works flawlessly even with the MFD2 and it caters all the important music interface possibilities (SD, USB & AUX IN).

I bought this to replace the infamous Xcarlink device which now sleeps with the fishes. Kufatec's device is light years ahead in terms of reliability and quality.

Oh, and you're not limited to 6 cd's. You can create any number of cd's you like. Only problem is that if your HU doesn't support CD changing from the HU itself. If you have MFSW then all is ok.

dan_the_v8man · 22-07-2008, 16:52

can you switch between more than 6 with you mfd2 without using the steering wheel controls?

also can you put the files in any old folder or do you have to name them, cd01, cd02 etc?

No I don't think so. The MFD2 doesn't have next/prev cd buttons. You access the cd's from the side buttons.

I haven't tried. I think it should work. The device reads the folders and sorts them as "cds" based on creation time.

For the 1st cd the files have to be directly under the root folder of the memory stick.
