FYI, the stereo-usb connector jack costs P150 at the mac shop. just about the same price even outside the mac shop

hmmm, maybe i should try a stereo jack with a earphone jack on the other end. maybe this will work even for a generic mp3 player, hehehehe

It will work with the male to male connector. What I want is to be able to control the ipod through our oem stereo. Why did you buy one with the usb? is there a slot for it? if there is it might work and control our mp3 on the dash.

sign up ka lang so that you can access the pics. in one thread, the pinoys (me and 3 other kababayans from california) are starting a pinoy cx-7 car owners thread. so far, they all got the black cx-7 while i remain the only one with the white cx-7

sir maybe you can use tsikot's car gallery

nag e-eksperimento lang. i thought that the stereo will work like the dvd players with a usb slot where the usb contents can be read by the player. unfortunately, it doesn't and my usb was fried in the process. no harm done naman to the stereo and the usb i used was just a 512mb, generic, giveaway, corporate promo, throwaway usb

some information for my fellow CX-7 owners: the stock OEM rim of our ride weighs 9.70 kg.

**alpha-q** · January 20th, 2010 07:26 PM

haha you really know all about the cx-7 eh, you even know how much the rim weigh.

Question. Is our windshield darker than the windows?

I had it tinted in casa all the windshield and windows with the same shade and it turned out the windshield is darker and boy they did a terrible job! I dont know if the tint they used is the el cheapo type or what. Everytime I go home I have a headache, its like your you came home from a night of partying, the windshield is so blurry parang lasing ang paningin.

Called up our salesman and told me ganun talaga ang tint po niyan pag nilagay sa harap! I told him all my cars never had that problem just now. He just offered me to remove it, not replace it. Oh well, I plan to put all dark black on it someday.

hahaha, nagkataon lang na i was curious and decided to weigh the rims, hahaha

i hope that this information is helpful

as for the windshield, i am not sure. what i know is that the rear passenger windows and rear window are tinted glass. i did plan to have my windshield and two front glass tinted but then decided against it, for now

Guys, got my CX-7 last Jan. 6. Sino sa inyo ang may plate na? at pano nyo nai fix sa front, reason I'm asking eh meron akong commemorative plate na ilalagay pero nung sukatin ko eh kelangan ata ng adaptor/fixture na ilalagay para maikabit ang plate.
