Hi all,

I have a 09/05 525d with business navigation and a 6 disk changer (only 1 drive in dash - used for nav).

The Nav DVD drive plays CDs (both normal and MP3) and DVD MP3s but the 6 disk changer only seems to play normal CDs. Now i know that i could just use a DVD, but i have to remove it every time i plan a route or it reroutes due to traffic which is a pain.

6 CDs containing MP3s would be a better solution. Is there any way to enable the CD Changer to play MP3s?

Thanks
D

According to the MP3 compatibility matrix .pdf in the following post:

However, BMW does claim they will offer MP3/6CDC in future

I am pretty sure it will be a different hardware.

Oh I am sure of that. It will not be simply some software upgrade that will do it.
