Factory mp3 skipping, silence, reading problems - Toyota Yaris Forums

Right now I'm burning a multi directory CD to test that out. I already did a conversion from VBA to CBR.

I really am looking for feedback, because I suspect this thing is "defective by design". Ticks me off.

A real turn-on was the MP3 functionality--and I hate jumping thru hoops just to make something work. Sorry if there are details in the owner’s manual. . .I didn't get one, just a quick start guide.

But it shouldn't matter. A new CD player with a list of 400 bucks should play anything. My Awia would play anything. I accidentally, one time, put a CD in it and couldn’t figure out why it was skipping every once and awhile -- just barely mind you. Took it out, and it looked like it had been dragged behind my car. . . mud and all.

This nonsense about specific bit rates and filing structure is bull. I collect music, and have a vast and well organized mp3 collection – records, 8-track, cassette, etc. But I like to listen to random stuff from my collection – and putting stuff in directories and structure defeats the whole purpose of making a new CD every couple of weeks or so.

But I digress.

It’s a lovely car. This crap won’t let me forget that. Anybody know where a good aftermarket adapter for a regular head unit can be found? I have an S sedan.

Peace, and thank you for all feed back.

Toyota would have been better off with a factory 6 disc rather than shoddy mp3 compatibility.
