Hi All,

I'm new here - just picked up my 2008 CX-7 a few days ago. I'm enjoying it but being an engineer and a tightwad I can't stand it when there's a display or button somewhere that does nothing.

At the moment that's the MEDIA button on the center console. The manual stated that this button only functioned for European models and not USA. I can't stand NOT HAVING IT!!!!!

Does anyone know if there's any firmware updates or hacks that can enable such missing features in the car? I'd really love to know.

Particularly I want to be able to use a USB storage device instead of CDs for music - has anyone here succeeded in adding this capability to the factory stereo?

Thanks,
BJ.
