Guruji is very nice, some others call me low_bass&trouble_makker and what not. I have no clue what all that means. I assume you are talking about the thread where in her interview, Pamela Anderson names me as the man she lusts most for. All good sir, I am a very modest person that way.

Guruji!Me mistake you!!!

No i was talking about your "Sierra" thread..What patience! seriously,iam not kidding,people have been offended here i observe,for negative opinion's on Pamela Anderson's....Car.

So,"When i grow up,i want to be like Guruji" is my mantra ;-).

And has anyone seen the Latest 6850, with 6 cd changer and panel doubling up as DVD screen etc etc x 100!

I have it in my Innova,mind blowing i must say. Also the Pioneer 'premier' with in built bluetooth phone(wireless)...Cutting edge technology,But i still like the simpler series. Infact Iraghava has classicaly summarised the beauty(and why's) of pioneer's in his last two posts.

Yup Saurabh my usage is high due to a lot og highway touring. And if I'm in the car the stereo HAS to be on. Infact there are regular days where I'm in the car for 4-5 hours at a stretch!

P.S. I do about 40K kms odd every year on average!

And regarding this is iRags on question, it's got to do something with tyres too I guess.

dang ! that sucks...it would be great to have a 12-disc MP3 changer. B&T, you mentioned the DVD changer - how does this rig up to an existing pio HU (5xxx series + screen), and what is the approx cost of this unit (before i go hunting again)?

Dont know, was very expensive a while ago. Maybe 30k odd? It connects to HU via the IP Bus cable (provided with DVD changer).

As far as I know, Pioneer CD Changers doesn't play MP3s. There is not even a single model out in the market that can play MP3s, they only make multi-cd changers(50 cds etc). However some of their high end Headunits with built-in cd changers can play MP3s.

I have installed it in my Corolla, it's probably one of the best HUs available today in terms of features. But I am not sure about the audio quality.

I don't know whether they are available now, but I know for a fact that Sony and Alpine have CD Changers that play MP3s.

Blaupunkt has a DVD changer (6-disc) available now, that plays MP3s.

to nip is a verb meaning something along the lines of 'to move quickly'. Also, a biting quality, as in cold or frosty air: There's a nip in the air this morning.

Ohh! I was thinking on the lines of the nips, pegs that you see on bar menus. Seriously, no kidding!

Sure he uses the buttons, he meant he doesn't use his finger.
