right, I've got my cable from the stealer to allow me to plug in mu USB stick, as I used to do in the fiat...

now in it went, and the stereo said "initializing PD" for about 10 minutes, then off it went playing songs from my memory stick, I assumed this was just a one off thing to get the system reading my memory stick..

now I got back in the car, and it did the same thing all over again! its going to be appaling if I have to suffer that every time I get into my car and want some music on! in the fiat, it would immediatley start to replay from when you last turned the engine off...

am i doing something wrong?

advice would be appreciated.

No you are not doing anything wrong, it just seems the Skoda stereo system is a bit picky with the memory you use.

As a result of advice from here I decided to use a hard drive, not the seagate Free agent Go as advised but a cheap (£25 120gig) hard drive, plugged that into my stereo and it did the dame as your memory stick.

I then spent £40 and got a 250gig seagate Free agent go and hay presto it works absolutely brill and I have 106gig of music on it and more to go. you can take the drive out add more music to it put the dive back in days latter and it plays from where it stopped.

PS the Seagate comes as NTFS and you have to change it to Fat32 for the stereo to read the drive.

106gb! Holy crap!

Is it even possible to listen to 106gb worth of music in a lifetime?

Most people , including me , used Maplins. They were about £35 for the 250gb.

PS Just checked , 250gb £34.99 ( Still on special offer)

scan.co.uk have the same hard drive at £33.34

Media In works great with ipods, I use a 120Gb Classic, it's fast and navigation is easy.

Just bought the Seagate drive from Maplins that everyone else seems to have. Cracking drive, dead quiet.

But, and a massive but, I just found out a good half of my iTunes collection is .m4a, not .mp3.

Cue hours of conversion and file sorting.
