'09 Bose Play/Pause button doesn't work?
I just bought my '09 RX-8 GT last Wednesday. I discovered that the Play/Pause button in the upper left corner of the controls doesn't work to pause CDs. I can't even find mention of its functionality in the manual. They go into silly detail over every little button and function, but they never mention the Play/Pause button that I can find. CDs are the only media source I can imagine it working with, and it does nothing. It's not a huge deal, since I can just hit the power button, but why put it there, then? ????

the '09's have a pause button?? Sorry, wish I could help but my 05 has no such button.
(I always wondered why most car companies don't put pause buttons on their stereos, only mute...)

A pause button would be a nice addition, but wouldn't help when listening to radio. They need to make a pause/mute button that stops anything that's playing as well as muting the speakers.

WTF.....just made a discovery by accident (don't they all happen that way....)
I was listening to Sirius/XM and I hit the Play/Pause button....well....the display shows "IR <Artist Name> (or whatever you have set to display)" and it PAUSED the radio....It usually shows SR# and your display set, but it switches over to IR....and after 5-10 seconds I hit the button again...and the radio started back right where I paused it....WTF?!
Rather interesting that it works on sat radio and not a CD.....lol
Just thought I'd share :-p
