Is there an easy way to load my iPod music into the the G37 memory? Seems like there must be an easier way to do this than just loading individual CDs thru the dash player. Thanks.

do you have COMPACTFLASH (CF) PLAYER in your convertible?

Don't know. It is a 2011 model. There is a MP3 input jack that I can plug my iPod into to play music. But do not know if there is software in the audio system to download the iPod content into the hard drive on the car.

Do not see a port on top right of cd slot. There is a USB port in the center console. This is what I plug my iPod into.

check page 4-46 of your user manual:
COMPACTFLASH (CF) PLAYER
OPERATION
Audio main operation
Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position, remove the cover A and insert a CF
card B into the slot. Then, push the
button repeatedly to switch to the Compact-
Flash mode.
If the system has been turned off while the
CompactFlash card was playing, pushing the
ON·OFF/VOL control knob will start the CompactFlash
card.

Thanks, will give it a go. If I cannot make it work, then will go into the Dealer. Thanks much for you advice!

only the 2009 had the compact flash player. 2010 and up do not have it. Unfortunately the only way is to burn a audio cd of the mp3 and then have the car read it.

I just use the bluetooth to play music from my phone. Of the years I've had my car,i've not touched the music box.
