Hi all,

Just introduced myself in the new owners section - bought my first Maserati - a 2013 Granturismo S today and so far very impressed. Drove nearly 200 miles home in it and loved it - and thats coming from somebody who part exchanged a Ferrari!
My first confusion which doesn't seem to be answered by the manuals is how to use the USB socket? I tried plugging in a USB cable (I have the full USB socket) but when I select source, it never comes up with USB or Jukebox. Am I doing something wrong? I could play music from my phone by using the AUX connector and a male to male jack lead but wanted to use USB or copy my files to the jukebox. Help!!!!

Stating the bl€€ding obvious RTFM but I've not done that either, so far I've just used it to charge my phone s l o w l y...
If you can import music files to the jukebox then please do it that way as using the CD method takes ages...

I imagine the USB will need to do the recoding as well (which is what takes the time). This stuff is primitive. We forget we are spoiled.

I remember downloading music in the office. I had days of down downloads queued up. If I wanted to do it now I suspect the bandwidth and compute would be waiting on me to tell it what I wanted.

The GT is a long way more advanced than the Coupe. The interior CD player was the storage for the GPS Sat nav so to listen to music you either needed the optional extra 6 multi disc player in the boot or use the radio. Which reminds me, I didn't erase the memory of mine when I sold it...
