Ok - So I would guess that I'm not alone in that I have an Android phone, and not an iSheep (er, iPhone) and would like to know what the options are for both connecting the phone with Bluetooth, both to the stereo for A2DP Bluetooth music streaming and handsfree telephone. So, I have the following questions:
1. Is it better to connect via usb cable for android phones since USB would also charge the phone as well as read the music files from the device as a USB drive, and therefore, now downsampling for Bluetooth's capped data rate for audio?
2. Are there iPhone-like adapters that would convert the iPhone adapter to something that can tether an Android device?
3. Will the disc player, which supports DVD, be able to play mp3's from a burned DVD-R as a data disc?
4. Is there enough power on the USB ports to actually mount and read from a USB hard drive?
5. Is there ample space for a thumb-drive by the usb port? Is there any limitation to the size of drive?
6. I've read people's speculation of how the stereo reads mp3's from a usb stick, being as a flat file system with no grouped folders. This would pretty much make using USB flash drives a worthless option, since putting about 2 dozen albums on the drive, would mean having a few hundred tracks listed in one gigantic list, that you'd need to scroll through. Please tell me that folders are nested just as tho you were reading from a PC.
7. I really am looking forward to the split screen feature of the screen and it's media playback features. My question is, has anyone been able to try video playback on the main screen? If so, was it from a physical source disc, or was it a file on a drive? How was the experience overall?
8. Has anyone been able to compare the two Meridian systems available? I'd like to know if there is a discernible difference between the two, or is the 825w system just louder?
9. Can anyone show a picture of the puddle light that's projected from the mirrors when you disarm the car at night?
Thanks for taking the time to read and possibly respond. I'm so excited to get my Evoque in December, when it arrives here in The States.
