Radio five vs radio 6

[HoagieKat]

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing out on by having the radio 5 as opposed to the radio 6?

Re: Radio five vs radio 6

i was wondering the same, is it not to do with steering controls???

Re: Radio five vs radio 6

I've been doing some digging, and all I can tell is that the radio 6 takes away the nice useful cubby underneath the radio, and adds a telephone keypad... and if you have the multi-function steering wheel it'll work with that.

Re: Radio five vs radio 6

Ive got 6, you get telephone keypad but need the bluetooth kit to make it work, you also get speakers in the rear doors standard with the six... but I had a courtasy car with 5 and liked the little cubbiehole under the radio

Re: Radio five vs radio 6

I like my cubbyhole... I'm keeping the radio 5!

radio 6 = pointless and ugly (sorry rach)
radio 5 = useful and fits in with general look of car

i've got the radio 5 and still have speakers in the back

Re: Radio five vs radio 6

I believe it is...

RANT ALERT!

I just don't like paying 50% more than I should because it has "Sony" written on it...

I don't like sony because they made the MiniDisc, great idea, bad implementation...

Sony is overpriced by about 50% for the features you get...

They're not a whole lot better than any other brand, but people still pay it cos it says "Sony"...

Sony put what amounts to spyware on your PC if you loaded some of it's audio CDs into a PC...

Sony invented the "Walkman"... so nobody ever talks to anybody else on trains anymore... thanks sony...

I blame sony for the downfall of society...

END OF RANT!

Don't get me started on Apple Computers...

No offence taken as my car was from stock so I didn't spec it!!! however, without the radio 6 I don't think you can have the the multi functional wheel which is in my opinion one of the best options available (well at least not from smart, maybe it can be added aftermarket....)
