I'm pretty sure I'm right about that - let me know if I'm not.


You're not: at least not totally. On AC (home) power, the serial rate is always 115200 8N1. On DC (car) power, it starts in 115200, but then drops to 4800. You can override this by setting the "car_rate" parameter in config.ini.


Fair enough but a bit clearer than the FAQ (sorry Tony) for this situation. The picture shows setting 115200 but doesnt mention it and then says in the text: "If you're trying to connect to the player via the in-car serial connector, you must change the "Bits Per Second" value to 4800. When it's running on DC power, the serial port speed is lowered to 4800 for better compatibility with other in-car hardware devices."

A Mark Lord dock appears to the player to be on "DC Power" for most intents and purposes doesn't it without any special setup?

In either case you want 115200 to catch the important boot info.
