Default only had it in the other day for a few hours and forget about it....

I am still downloading CD's and you can't beat the value and amount of cd's the stock cartridge holds. 20gb is a lot of CDs. $119 plus shipping from 1stvwparts and its direct plug and play. I have changing CDs and changer cartridges.

Default BIG FAT NO

This thing is a nightmare if you have a powerpc based mac with os x as your only option. The software runs like crap on virtual pc and the program "phatmac" is also a nightmare.... stay away if you have a mac.. I wish I bought an ipod now.

Default As long as its warm outside then its a great buy.

They should throw a sticker on the side saying may not work in Canada 8 months of the year.
