Morning, I've just upgraded from a 55 plate to a 59 plate C6 Avant and I can't work out how to amend the meta data on CD's (re name them) in the 6 disk changer. The CD name and track info comes up automatically with the same CD in the CD/DVD drive, but nothing in the 6 disk changer. All the research I've done has got me nowhere, can anyone help?

Cheers

the 6-disc changer in the glovebox/console doesn’t read CD text or metadata. it just plays the disc, so it won’t show names or track info.

only the main CD/DVD slot unit can display CD-text (if the disc was burned with it or is an original with metadata).

so there’s no way to “rename” discs in the changer itself — it’s just not a supported feature on that system. if you want names displayed, you’ll need to use the main head unit or go digital (AMI / aux / SD depending on spec).

Thanks, exactly confirmed what I hoped wasn't the case. Weird that my older 55 C6 does have that feature 🤔.

On the subject of SD cards, mine has the slots and I've fitted one but do I need to upload music before o fit it or can I download directly from the CD's in the multi changer? Seems quite a complicated system, or it's made to feel that way by the over complicated wording I'm the handbook. Either way i cant work it out...

Yeah it does feel more complicated than it needs to be.

On the SD card slots in the C6 RNS-E / MMI setup, you can’t copy music from the CD changer onto the SD card. There’s no “ripping” function in the system.

You need to load the music onto the SD card first using a computer (MP3 or WMA format usually works best, folders are fine but keep it simple). Then just plug it into the slot and it will index it automatically.

The car is basically just a reader, not a file manager 👍

Brilliant cheers 🍻
