Hello

I have 2005 BMW 525i with radio professional and the CD-player won't play MP3 CDs. The MP3 CD is burnt with the right settings that are mentioned somewhere in this forum. I have heard that I have to upgrade the CIP software to get the MP3 function. Anybody who can help me? Thanks in advance.

You will need to get MP3 retrofit with upgrade to CIP 20.xx and higher (CIP21.xx is out). BMW will not allow dealers to upgrade JUSt to upgrade. You need a problem that requires a software fix under warrenty and then ask them to be ever so kind to retrofit you to MP3. Do a search for "bulletins" and you can find the CIP (20, 21, even 19 if your car is old enough) lists of issues. Also is a ton of posts on the MP3 update and how many of us got there. Also do search for MP3- the biggest thread is still pretty active.

Good luck.
