MODE button

what is the difference between the business cd players with the mode button and with out?

i see people all the time asking for this.

i have the mode button but with out it what do i loose??

The ability to switch your source (MODE)-AM radio/FM radio-CD-tape etc. depends on your setup

well all i have right now is a ipod hook up from bmw, and i use that fm, and cd. so is it really needed?

if i get a dice kit would i need the mode button?

Don't know about the dice set-up, but I have my Sirius Satellite controller hooked through the optional auxilliary cable that plugs right in the back of the business radio. I use the mode button to move through radio, cd, aux.

I'm not sure why - it plays no part in compatibility when referring to a DICE kit.

There's no need to upgrade the radio if using the DICE kit. The DICE kits work with radios quipped with either a MODE or CD button.

ok thanks for the input^

i really just wanna know what i am loosing going from a cd player with mode, to a cd player with no mode button.....i just see alot of adds for cd players and most the time people always specify if it has a mode button or not. just dont wanna get the wrong thing

thanks guys!

Other than the post 9/2002 having Sirius receiver and AUX compatibility (available seperately), there is no difference.
