Your dealer must configure the mp3 option. It will work on your dash cd player NOT the 6 disc changer. Just doing a SW upgrade will not by itself configure mp3, the dealer must activate it. I had mine done on my 2004 and it is perfect.

Yes (you can see in my signature)

But it makes no difference to getting mp3 activated
