Joined: 07/06/2013(UTC) Posts: 446 Location: Florida		I recently acquired a 49981 Schimmel Exhibition Car w/ Sound. It only plays one piano piece so it gets abit boring after a while. Can someone point me in the right direction for some music downloads? Plus, assuming I can find some, how do I upload them? Thanks in advance. Peter B.

Volume can be adjusted." so I suspect that by selecting combinations of some functions allows selection of different pieces. This item is too old for being able to replace the sounds, having been produced in 2003.
