IMO leaving your ignition on may not be wise.Replacement of these batteries costs hundreds.Long drives might be your best answer.

When I first took delivery, I had grand plans to load up those 10gb of Music Register with all my stuff, but I ran out of patience fairly quickly with the slow recording pace.
I also discovered the Sirius radio, which I never had before, now have Comand glued to a few Sirius channels and will buy a subscription when the free trial ends. Yet another monthly bill, thanks to those sneaky marketing b**##!!s.

are you serious KA??
that's too good!
yeah, it does take ages to rip 'em on there......
going for a drive is a good idea.......
only thing is, after you hear the one you just burned
on there; how many more times do you want to listen to it? hehe.....
it's good for me because I like to rock to the same 10 or 12 CD's......

Lol. Never thought I'd learn something new at this point in the experience!
I guess I gotta give that a try. Now that my Sirius is expiring, and I'm seemingly too cheap to renew it (it's extremely beneficial to me right now since I'm still using this car for my long distance work drives), I'm gonna have to get aggressive with the CD business.

My notice said somewhere in the $100's. Main reason I didn't renew is because I was planning on getting another car for those drives (which I'd get Sirius in that for), but now I might not. It expires tomorrow so I better think quick, lol.

I'm surprised that it doesn't let you copy from a USB stick onto the 10G drive.

I haven't tried it and was planning on it. But, after reading how long it takes I'll stick to just using my old ipod. The interface is great with the ipod's anyway and I can make changes to the library so easily.

Takes about 15-20 minutes per CD. It plays the CD in normal sequence, but records in the background at a much faster rate. A screen pops up on display to say recording done. Also, if instrument panel display is set to audio, it will show recording progress.
BTW, you cannot just turn on the electical power and do it. Car automatically shuts down after about 5-10 minutes, but apparently you can leave electical power on once you have started the car. Wierd.
Best way is to take a trip and have a passenger do it. You can select which folder to record into, enter titles for folders, etc. Lots of opportunities to be distracted and run into somebody.

I burned a few CD's but also gave us due to the speed, or lack thereof. Now I alternate between the 16Gb USB stick I keep in the glove-box or streaming music or Pandora from my iPhone.
