TBD

I actually haven't tried it, but the tests are very promissing. I prefer a usb-stick, which should, however, not be too big. I first tried it with 16GB of music on the stick but that didn't work well - it took too long to read. NOw with baout 6GB of music it is working fine.

Probably part of the engine deal

Yes, it works great. In fact the picture is better and the Sony provides Distance Lines for orientation (which I find qute usefull. Reception is better, but it is still very poor. I'm having it exchanged next week - my dealer has installed the antenna form a Mercedes SLK on several Evora's. Here are the photos

I got my new Evora S three weeks ago and the first thing I did was to get rid of the Alpine System. Never saw a Car Entertainment System that is so difficult to handle. It just shouldn't be in such a grat car: 1) The look of the thing - the colors are terrible, the navigation screen overlay doesn't even fit well 2) The screen - such a miserable resolution 3) The Phone Unit - I couldn't get a stable connection with my Android Phone (HTC Desire). Sometimes it connects, sometimes not. If it does it generally diconnects when I get a call 4) The address sorting on the phone unit remains a mistery to me 5) At least the Navigation got me to my destination, but it doesn't even offer an overview of the route. 6) The antenna - I just couldn't beliee how bad FM reception is I replaced the unit with a SONY XNV-L66BT which includes a TomTom Navigation unit. It is a changed experience, everything fits in and it all works without needing to study the users manual at 200Km/h on the Autobahn! It also looks much better in the dashboard! I actually didn't cost too much, I found a poor sucker on ebay who paid more for the Alpine than I did for the Sony! Only hadto pay the intallation.

I just got the same mats last week and guess what, they don't fit. The mat on the drivers sie is actually about 1/2-inch too long, so that the gas pedal can get stuck below it. While I like flat out driving I do alsolike the chance to let the throttle come back up!
