Mine is a 10/2004 and it does play MP3.

It's not only downloading the software. During the software download, they need to tick an extra box to activate MP3 function.

They should have a note on their PUMA system how to do it.

They probably 've retrofitted to nav Pro with older (without the mp3 ability) parts.

Nick and Olli both bring up valid points. Before assuming Nick is right, you might want to double check with your dealer to make sure they're doing the coding properly (in case Olli is right). Many dealers are unaware that an extra step or two has to be performed during programming to enable the mp3 playback capability.

The fact that you retrofitted the pro-nav makes it difficult to simply go by the car's manufacture date so if you're sure that the dealer is doing it right, then Nick's theory may be a good one. I can't say for sure if there are different versions of the CD drive but if that's true, you may be able to swap the old drive out for a newer one without having to rip the entire CCC system out...

Good luck and keep us posted!

Does it skip to the next song and on and on? Make sure that you have constant bit rate MP3. Variable bit rate does not work.

Rudy is correct

Did they sell you a brand new or a used one nav pro CCC?
I think that only from 8/05 and later CCCs are able to be Mp3 enabled.

Not entirely true. My 3/04 car plays MP3s fine even though it's not officially supported by BMW...
