The ability to play MP3's in the dash unit may require a software update to enable (and some units wont without new hardware). The original changer has no such ability. This thread may prove useful to you:

I was in the same situation untill last week when I searched this forum and found this SIB document (attached). Just print it and bring it your dealer. I did, and they re-coded my car. Four hours later, it lists all the mp3 and play them in the dash cd player. Next I plan to do the iPod integration kit install (DIY) and now as my car can read mp3 files, I'm hoping it will also be able to read my ipod without a visit to the dealer.
