No flexibility, not even for an iPhone. Your not getting my point. It would cost thousands of dollars to do a non optical surround system in a car right and the hard drives systems don't like climate change as mentioned before I had the my gig system and it was shite. To date it is way too expensive to do a aftermarket system and even if you did it would have a hard time out performing the Acura system.
And to return the not a dig portion the CRV and Jetta are Tinkertoys next to the RL.

Come on .... Why mention the car and how long you'll keep it? And are you really saying your rig will sound better in an 05 Accura RL than another car? (comparison only valid with engine off, air-con off, and no traffic noise) I've a CRV and Jetta but didn't feel it important to mention it; Both playing mp3 from uSD; Both play CDs if I could be bothered (I can't). I'd rather have the so called lossy sound in the car than be limited to some CDs but that's my choice. Even the kids burn music to 2Gb SD cards at will, and plop them in from time to time. Brilliant, no hassle, plenty of choice.I'm looking to upgrade the Jetta to another head unit that delivers some other sound formats without optical. Hopefully someone hare will have an idea, though I'm beginning to think this group may be better suited to folk chatting about themselves rather than the future technology coming our way. That's not a dig so please don't go flaming me for that. I'll go look for an automotive group now too, as I'm sure many will suggest anyway. LOLps Surely that Accura has a slot to let you play around with the flexibility? The CRV has a full PCMCIA slot. One full adapter to multicard; insert an SD to uSD, add a uSD card was all it took for mine. Ours is 08 but I'd expect yours will have similar options. Yours might even play multichannel if you're really lucky. What model is your head unit by the way?--

Sent from my iPhoneFWIW I had mentioned the two cars played DVD-A but it's worth mentioning -- the MyGig head unit (Jeep) is very flexible and plays all burned media (made copies of my DVD-As) whereas the head unit in the Merc is VERY fussy about burned media, almost none of it works, and I think it's more than just watermarking.

Sent from my iPhoneAs someone said before, Acuras have an option where you can get DVD-A capability ( and it plays DTS too) and you can buy such a car off the lot. But even my Lexus with 'Premium Sound' doesn't have this - I could have ordered one with Mark Levinson system but then I'd have to wait for several months. I thought that I'll retrofit it - sadly that hasn't worked in last 2 years :-) even though I bought all the gears that I needed. Lesson for me - in future buy a car which has DVD-A.BTW - DVD-A in Acura sounds awesome, the gear is of high quality.
- Rajeev--all of the newer Cadillac's, ATS, CTS and Escalades have optional Bose surround sound systems, that play DVD-A. I believe the head units are Pioneer based.------- Original Message -----From: Neb-Maat-ReSent: Monday, November 05, 2012 2:11 AMSubject: Re: [SurroundSound] Surround in the carThe Hyundai Genesis (optional) and Equus (standard) have 7.1 Lexicon systems thaplay DVD-A.We won't get the Genesis in Aus until 2013.--
