Music Box 2010 G
I am new the music box option. Am I reading right in my manual that the only way to load the drive is through CDs? I was told I could transfer all my music off my phone to the Music Box vial USB cable

CDs are the only way I know how. The USB connectivity is only good for getting song names if your Gracenote database is too old, and it's a horrible, convoluted process. What I did to get around it was leave an old iPod in the car, with 10gigs of music on it. Re-purposes a now-useless piece of tech, and the menu system for iPod integration is better than playing music directly from a USB stick. My music box isn't that large anyway (not sure if there are different sizes)

had similar HD "music box" in my Evo - i put 3-4 CD's on it for an "emergency" if i somehow had no other source of music ... never used it.
just load up a cheap ipod with music, leave it in the armrest, and forget about it. no plugging/unplugging of your phone to deal with every time you get in or out of the car.

don't remember saying it was a *HUGE* inconvenience.
not having USB cables hanging all over my car is a plus, too.
i have an Android phone anyway, so plugging it in wouldn't do anything but charge it.

i don't use an iPod - they sound like ***. i have my old rooted Galaxy Note 3 in there using Viper4Android audio processing to fix the crap Bose EQ.
no EQ presets in IOS sound any good, and any IOS app i tried with custom EQ or audio processing didn't play nice with the headunit.

I moved the phone connector into the glove box. Whichever phone you use is much more protected from heat in the glove box. Often when I return to my car on a summer day the phone (or iPod) had shut down due to overheating. It would take anywhere from 5-15 minutes with the console lid open and the AC on full blast to bring the phone back to life. Since moving it to the glove box I've never had an issue
