The 05, 06 and 07 Nav/Hybrid radios are NOT mp3 or Sirius compatible. The 08 radio is supposed to be both but then again so was the current one....

Well the one that is on the Mercury site is the 07 still... So even after knowing about it, NOTHING has been done to correct the bad info. Its one thing to have a mistake in printing or advertising. Its something COMPLETELY different when nothing is done to correct it.

Yea, it looks like the '08 FEH and MMH will have the same DVD based system used on other new F/M/L models. Well, at least the part you see in the dash looks the same.

However, the '08 FE/FEH and MM/MMH unit will be the only new (redesigned) model, which does not also have the new Sync system available. Why, I have no idea.

Sync supports Apple iPod, Microsoft Zune, and "Plays-for-sure" portable music devices, most combination mobile phone/digital music players, as well as most USB drives. Supported audio formats include MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV and PCM.

But the Nav system being "behind the times", will seem to continue into '08.
