NC Bose MEDIA button?

Post by Grant » Fri Oct 03, 2008 7:16 pm

I've read through the manual of my NZ new 2006 NC with the Bose audio system trying to find what the MEDIA button does. Can't find an explanation anywhere. The 6 cd in dash stacker is not MP3 capable unfortunately.

Hi Grant. Welcome to the wonderful world of NC ownership. My import RS also has the Bose stereo with MEDIA button that does nothing. Although it does play MP3s. Rather than repeat what others in USA have said, if you do a search (media button) on the Miata forum in the NC section, you will find the answers in language that i know you will understand - better than i can explain.
Cheers,
Gordon

Thanks for the reply, Gordon.
I've ordered (from MX5parts in the UK) the Audiolink unit so I can use a USB
drive for MP3 playback. Decided that was the easiest way for me to get a lot
of music without taking up much room. Still can use the CD stacker if
required.
Will report on the success (or not) of the unit when it arrives.
Haven't had the car for a week yet and too busy to have a decent drive
unfortunately!

Grant.

Hi,

I have a 2005 NC with bose and the media button works if you have a 3.5 jack installed to connect to phone/ipod it turns on the AUX function basically.

What I want to know there are a few buttons on the controls (looks like a dash of arrows) in one direction and Auto_T on the other which i presume is auto tune..


If anyone can scan the BOSE pages from the manual id be grateful as all i can find is US versions and there different buttons.

Mine will also play MP3's FWIW

Cheers
