I have a 2005 525i and I would like to know if the cd player will play MP3 cds? I burned a mp3 cd, but nothing happens when you put it into the cd player. I know it plays CD-RW cd's, but...

My car had the CIP 23 software installed last week (see thread below). I just burnt an MP3 disk and it plays it with no problems and shows the song titles on the screen.

Good question. I didn't even try before - I just presumed it doesn't play them and I don't listen to MP3s anyway. I have Business navigation which, having read other posts may be a factor.

CIP upgrade does not necessarily give you MP3 compatability..You generally need to ask for it specifically or at least that was the case, (dealer dependant I guess). If it's not activated this should be done FOC by your dealer.
Use the search as this has been discussed on many occasions, and there is good info on burn settings etc....
