higgsy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Which one is it? Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Actually I remember your previous thread. If you got the connects 2 have you arranged your music as per the instruction manual I posted the link to on your other thread? You need to set up 6 folders named disk 1-6 (as it simulates a CD changer) it also says the number of files in each folder should not exceed 99 Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggy119 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Higgs sorry I must of not seen your other post . Can I try get this right . So am I naming song as disk 1 disk 2 ect . Or am I putting how ever many songs I want into disk 1 then say another 10 into the debt folder disk 2 . ?? Also it says something about a cd changer button mine only says cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Prob best to read the manual I posted the link to in the other thread mate! You set up 6 folders named DISC1 DISC2 DISC3 DISC4 DISC5 DISC6 on your USB stick, then dump your mp3s in these folders - Max of 99 mp3s per folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Prob just uses the CD button if there isn't a changer button option or maybe even the aux button, but by the looks of things until it detects the right folder structure on your USB stick it wont output, manual says to wait 15 secs before trying to select the CD changer Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggy119 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 6000cd iv got one button that got cd then one button with aux :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Make sure nothing is connected to the aux socket and then remove/reinsert the memory stick. The module may be interpreting any cable plugged into the aux as an active data source and therefore selecting it as priority over the USB connection.

biggy119 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 No this still dosnt work I can't understand now why it dosnt work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 So this device simulates a CD changer but your stereo doesn't have a CD changer option? Or have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Does the button on the radio say AUX or CDDJ? I think maybe the problem is you have the wrong unit. Are you able to post a link to what you got and also a picture of your actual radio so we can check compatability. If it's the incorrect one can you return it for a swap?

biggy119 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hello no it does not have the ccdj on it just cd. And then under that aux . I don't think I'll be able to send it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It does sound like the wrong kit then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The audio manual says you press the cd button twice to activate the CD changer, as the unit mimics a CD changer I guess that is how you activate it. I would try a different USB stick and if still the same and its been fitted as per the instructions contact the seller for a replacement on the premise its a faulty unit. If its the CTAFOUSB005 then its the correct model Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
