Xou need a CIP update and MP3 playback needs to be enabled by your BMW tech after the update.
Then your CD player is able to provide MP3 playback, while the CD changer remains unable to play MP3's.

My understanding is that there is a hardware limitation that will not permit MP3 playback in 2004 MY E60's WITHOUT NAV. This has to do with the fact the early production cars had Business and not Professional radios installed. This reportedly changed in 2005 MY. Those who have had success have used the DVD slot in the NAV for MP3 disk playback not the CD slot in the head unit.

My Ride: Nov 2003 530D SE Auto in Mystic Blue with Grey Dakota Leather, Business Nav. Star Spoke 124 18"s, Blootooth Preperation.
Modifications so far: M5 spoiler, M5 trunk finisher, hometronic rear view mirror, Maple Wood interior trim.
Mods to come: M5 style quad exhaust and M5 rear bumper, Dechroming, black ebay grilles, tints, upgrade to factory amp, by the time I've done these, I'm sure I'll have thought of some more....

"the dsc light has been coming on and then goes off when the car is left turned off for a while" is a good way to blag a software update without cost....then just pay the small fee to have mp3 activated
