CD changer random mode question

I'm wondering if the 2004 TL's CD changer's random mode will select a random track from all the discs instead of the current CD (like my current 2001 Acura).

Thanks,
Jay

random mode only works for 1 CD. there is no ALL CD RANDOM, like in my Nissan Pathfinder. hope this helps.

Which to me is fine anyway. It takes a decent amount of time to change discs, so to randomly flip songs from various CD's would put a delay between songs that sucks. A cool factory solution would be to stream the data into memory so it can change CD's before the buffer runs out. BUt no, not our fortune.

The good news is you can get software like Discwelder, and burn a DVD-A with 99 songs... Thats better than 6 CD's of random music!

Good suggestion. I'd like to see the driver given a choice between random all CD/random single CD though. Seems like it'd be cheap to add.

The real reason few car CD changers have an all-disc random mode is that it greatly increases the chance of breaking the mechanism.
