[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 586296, member: 24160"] Well, I have had no luck in finding a 2008 CTS owners manual online, which will make it hard for anyone to know for sure exactly what features are available or not without making some suppositions based on what we read in reviews of the system. I have found Audible's links for [B][URL="http://www.audible.com/adbl/store/deviceCenter/devices.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&showDType=mp3&whichMfgr=334"]downloading[/URL][/B] their Audible Manager Software and [B][URL="http://audible.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/audible.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3636&p_created=1189706616"]installing[/URL][/B] it to the drive in your CTS to enable listening to Audible content from your HD. This would be my primary use of the drive. While the CTS has iPod integration which allows you to play and listen to music directly from your iPod, I have found nothing that indicates music can be transferred from the iPod to the hard drive (yet). From all the write ups and reviews I've seen, music can be loaded onto the hard drive from a USB flash drive or it can rip tracks directly from CD and store them. Have looked at the CTS myself and haven't as yet ruled it out as my next vehicle. Naturally, the salesmen really knew nothing of that detail of the system. Really would like to find a copy of the owners manual somewhere. Bottom line, you have full control and access of your iPod from steering wheel mounted controls... don't think there was a consideration made to be a need to transfer those files to the hard drive. To do that, Apple would have to create an iTunes software that could be installed and run on the Operating System used by the hard drive. [/QUOTE]
