Thanks

Business will not work on mp3 even if you put 16.2 soft. I tried it on mine and a friend of mine as well with a 530I from 11/2004 and nothing.... On the models 2005 it should work (at least with the X3).

Radio Business is not supposed to give MP3 playback. Not even on a MY05.

[Is it possible to buy an upgrade to radio proffesional?
Jannek...I asked this at my local dealership as I'm really dissapointed that my no nav, bus radio equipped 530D will never apparently play MP3s. I was told that it would probably be "well over a ?1000" to go from bus to pro radio, it is a dashboard out job. Needless to say I laughed (hysterically)

In my view it is quite clear in black and white in 2 different BMW brochures 18months old.

Glad it was clear to you in the literature and you revel in your enjoyment of MP3. Unfortunately for me I shelled out a lot for Logic 7 partly becuase initially I was under the impression that it had the prof radio especially as I was ordering the "professional" HiFi system. It's plain to me by the sheer number of threads on this topic that BMW could have done better here. This is my 4th new 5 series in a row and I never got caught by ticking the wrong options before.
It also appears that our US forum users who chose non Nav cars might never play MP3s as I understand the prof radio is not an option in the US. Was that in the US literature?
