Hello everyone, I just got a 2005 525i with Navi and premium... however, the CD player does not play Mp3 CDs.
I know I have the options of adding an AUX input or an Ipod interface.
However, I was just wondering if a Mp3 CD player off a 2006 530I will fit my car - Direct Swap? If so, do I need to upgrade the software as well?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

i think that navi cars should be able to play mp3's
maybe you need just a software update :s
my 03 one plays mp3s, but only after a software update
no hardware was changed
also, welcome

by 'replaced cd players' do you mean the single unit (CCC) or the 6 changer in the glove box?
