I can get 20-23 songs per CD which is pretty good until we can do better.

And you can play them in the CD changer.

Ice, I don't have a changer, but the CDs play fine. Do it all the time when in the mood.

I'm a new member here and sometime towards the end of July I should be the owner of a new 2005 545i (it's on order). I've been reading all your posts on MP3's being able to play or not play in the e60's but I'm still lost. Will my 545i, which is on order as per BMW Owners Circle be able to play MP3's? I have ordered the NAV, Premium Sound/Logic 7. Or can I add an IPod via the aux input some of you have mentioned? If using the aux input will this be a hardwired input or fM modulator type? Does the dealer do the install for the IPod? Sorry if this is rehashing old stuff but I'm just looking for a clearer answer to make my first Bimmer more of a pleasure to drive!

According to all the info here. your car will not be able to play MP3s yet... it will be available via a software update in Sept. But your car WILL be able to play MP3s so dont worry.

As for AUX input it is a hard wire sound input not a FM modulator type. Most or should I say some do the install... they need to program it into the iDrive also after the install so dealer has to do at least part of it.
