Gave them a call there and they said the only way to play MP3s was with an auxiliary connection. They did say bring it to them to have a look so I might take a trip up on Saturday morning...

Providing that the iPod programming is already in place for the Dension installation, however I don't think the OP has neither iPod nor BT currently.

I don't have either at the mo and the stereo won't play MP3s on a disc. However, I do have the phone buttons on the steering wheel, which would suggest some amount of TCU wiring. We'll see how it goes. If I can get the stereo to play MP3 discs, it'll be a good solution for a while.

Think you need to ask them for the software update to enable your DVD player to play MP3 CD's.
Just lie and tell them you have a mechnic friend at BMW northampton - miles away) and he says its a retrofit option or something (playing dumb) but as you live local to Covenrty you though ud ask the question - I did the same thin kit was cov or lesta branch but i had to show them a mp3 bulletin article from here.
Btw my car is a sat nav pro version - you will need sat nav pro

My Ride: Black metallic 525 Petrol 215 bhp, Black leather, electric seats, sat nav, bluetooth, I pod interface, engine re-map, K&N sports filter
I have the factory fit bluetooth in my car.
The pro's:- It's really to access from the I drive
The Con's:- The compatible phone's that work are limited and sound quality is average, sometimes less so
The dealer said to re-code it for the newer phones would be ?150
Get a headset, it's better sound quality
