Has anyone figured out how to use the music register?
Ok....I can't seem to figure out how to copy mp3s from a DVDR or a USB stick onto that 10gb of internal memory. Anyone figured it out? I tried following the instruction manual, but it only seems to give step-by-step for ripping audio CDs, not copying mp3s. Though it does seem to suggest they support it in the 1st paragraph of that section.....

I was planning to play music off an sd card, but if I can just transfer via USB to the HDD i'd much rather do that.

From the discussion which stemmed in my intro thread, it sounds like USDM do not support copying from SD card. Refer to: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-sydney-4.html
My Aussie car has it. Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvf5EIAkyOI

Welcome to the epic unrelenting stupidity of MBUSA. The feature has been disabled, none of the documentation is accurate.
In a similar vein of stupidity, you will notice that the symbols around your headlamp switch do not light up. Every other symbol in the car does. Those symbols are probably the most important ones to see in the dark (when trying to turn the headlights on if they happen to be off). You just can't explain the ineptitude that is MBUSA. Can you tell I'm mad?

Also worth noting is the indicator stalk which has a billion things on it also doesn't light up.
My favourite thing which does look cool/work is the stereo buttons (other than the ON button) do not light up unless the stereo is turned on.

I have determined that the Music Register on USA models will only allow you to copy original CD's. It actually is very easy once you put in a commercial disk that I guess has DRM on it. I put in a Best of Steely Dan CD and went to REC. Once you select REC then you can record All Tracks or just the ones you want. It RIPS them in the background as long as the power is on.
My guess is the MB Legal department was worred about copyright infringement and wanted to make sure you had a legal copy of the song. Just speculation, but it makes sense.

It isn't just 'original' CDs. It will rip any music audio CD (NOT MP3 CD!). You can burn one yourself and have it rip it. The problem is, filling 10 GBs of music register will probably take over 100 audio CDs. It's useless. Unless you have all of your music on old fashioned audio CDs already.

False, it will not rip DVD-Audio/DTS CD's. I have a few from when I had my 05 Acura TL that played DVDA and DTS Discs and those will not give me the option to record. I have over 8K songs on my ipod, so I'm not too worried either way...
