Default CD Changer Question re: Random Play

When I set the CD player to Random:Changer it should jump from disc to disc but it only random plays the disc that is playing at the time before moving on to the next disc. It doesn't work te way that the manual describes, does anyone know if it is me or if this is the way it operates.

Default The manual that came with my car said that it is programmed to spend time on one disk (more)

before switching to minimize time spent switching disks

Default It will eventually change discs...

...when it feels in the mood. It will often spend LOTS of time on one disc though before it decides it's time to try something different. I think it's almost pointless and I stopped using it altogether.

Default If you have the manual check it out, there are specifics in there regarding the "randomness."

As Silver mentioned, it's actually not very random at all, but at least they admit it...

Default I think this may be different with Symphony II vs I?

My I was completely random on one disc - no anti-repeat logic, no nothing. I don't remember all the specifics, but I'm pretty sure the manual explained that it was random and one had to find the non-anti-repeating out by hard experience

It (random mode) sucked so badly, I've not used it since verifying the '01 worked the same

Default From the "Portfolio of Owner Privileges" which you should receive a couple months after taking

delivery of your car:

<i>"In <b>random mode,</b> the CD will play random tracks on an individual CD as well as randomly shuffle through the other CDs in the changer. The system is programmed to play 65%-80% of a CD before shuffling to another disc. This minimizes changing time to allow you to enjoy more music."</i>

Don't spend too much time looking forward to this package...it's really not very worthwhile...
