Ah yes! Didn't notice that! I have a 'mix' button instead - whatever that does!? Also mine only has 8 main buttons, not 10!
What if you order Ipod connection and rcd500? Does it render the cd changer useless? :huh:

Im guessing not as the 'cd changer' is built and not running off the aux port on the back. Interesting question though. Doesnt matter to be though, Ive got the drive and play by HK running through the cd changer aux on my MFD2. Hoping to get the RNS-510 soonish.
