I have the upgraded Meridian though(825?).

Hi - Does it automatically pick up the songs as soon as it starts burning to the HD or does it process that data afterwards? I can't think why the 825 would be any different in that area. Can you confirm that you are using a purchased CD (not copied) and the system recognises the track data and CD title. If it's copied I can understand why the track data transfers as its normally contained within the file. Just want to make sure I am armed with the most accurate data when I call the dealership tomorrow! Thanks

Hi Andy - First off, you will need to locate your music library on your computer, this is where iTunes stores it songs. When you have found it, drag over your favourite albums etc to the USB stick. The stick plays perfectly (with all track information) in the Evoque (just tried it). This also means that he tracks will be copied across in .mp3 format which is a lot easier. If you try and burn directly from an iTunes playlist it will always try and do it to CD so effectively makes it impossible to burn to memory stick. At least that is the case on my Mac (not sure about Windows but assume its the same). If you try and export a playlist from iTunes it will simply export a .txt file which is useless! So in short, it does work and seems to work pretty well, just the CD info I now need to figure out!

Can you upload photos of your new Evoque as this is the one my wife has ordered for herself and she has yet to see it in the metal.

Many thanks.

I don't think the car has anyway to update anything over the internet. It's not like it's using your phone as a modem (it would show as a tethered connection on the iPhone for example, which it doesn't) As such, if the CDs you're trying to get info for are newer than the car's database, you're probably out of luck. Have you tried old CDs?
