Default CD changer

I've had my car for 2 weeks now and this may be a stupid question but does the NX have a cd changer or just single disc? My RX had in dash changer. I figured out that the NX will play movies in Park.

Single disc only.

It only has a single disc, and in my opinion, that is the better option. I rarely see cars that have CD changers that surivive beyond 4-6yrs. At which point it has died and eaten your CDs, which requires you to pay over a grand to have it replaced, or be willing to rip your dash apart and swap it yourself. I had to do this exact thing with my mazda that I traded for the NX.

Honestly, CDs are a thing of the past, the Camaro (2013+) doesn't even come with one anymore.

Nope... Heck man, just bought a CD out of south Africa yesterday because they don't make it anymore and that was the only place to get the remaining copies.

I still play a game cube and miss my sega genesis.

I think we're all dated in one way or another hahahaha

I'm just saying the automotive world is moving on lol

That's only for the Mark Levinson system, which we don't have in North America.

At that point, a USB is probably easier to use. Browsing songs and changing tracks will be faster and has zero chance of skipping.

There is no stated "max capacity" other than the following (in the [regular] Owner's Manual):



The above said, the absolute maximum volume size for a FAT32 drive is approximately 8TB (8192 GB), but Windows' built-in formatting utilities (such as the ones in Windows XP and Windows7) can only format a volume up to 32GB. There are third-party utilities, however, that can format larger volumes; they do so by increasing the cluster size.

Bottom line: unless you're geeky enough to find a suitable utility and download and use it, stick to 32GB. BTW, 32GB is large enough to hold about 8000 songs. If that's not enough, just use multiple USB drives.
