Hello I have two questions : one that relates to displaying track/album info on the stereo unit, and another that relates to connecting a USB device to a mysterious cable in the glovebox. I recently imported the above car, which has a Pioneer AVIC-HRZ900 sat nav/multimedia unit in it. Enquiries and research so far shows that it's not possible to get the GPS functioning here - bummer, but I can live without it. However, there is an integrated HD which I've succeeded in ripping about 20 CDs to. However, as all the CDs are compilations I've burnt on my computer, the Gracenote database (which must be embedded in the unit's operating system?!) can't recognise any of my "home-made CDs' so displays them all with meaningless track & album data - i.e. it lists them as "unknown album" and 'track 01' etc. I understand that one can burn CDs, then submit the track names (to the Gracenote database) and then a few days later, the track info for that particular CD will be available should that CD be played in another CD player that has access to the Gracenote database. My question is : how does my car's Gracenote database get updated? Surely it has to connect to the internet - and how does one do that with a car?!? Or is there another way to get the stereo to display track/album data? ----------- Question two relates to a mysterious USB cable that sits in the glovebox. I've plugged an iPhone & various USB drives into it, as I assume that's what it's for. No response from the iPhone, however when a USB drive is plugged in, it tells me that the drive can't be read as it isn't formatted correctly. I researched this, but haven't found a way to format the drive/s in a format that can be read by the stereo - I always get the same 'invalid format' message. I'm formatting the drives on a Mac and don't have access to a PC - and suspect that the Mac is causing the problem. Any Mac users out there know how to solve this one? Any help will be much appreciated! Matthew Auckland
