I don't believe you can. Only if you have navi that has the dvd drive. Then you can burn songs onto a dvd and play mp3's in the drive that the navi disc goes into.

The single CD drive will only read CDs...no DVDs

you CAN play mp3 dvds on the nav dvd set up, but only in the DVD slot for the map disc. obviously you can't use the navigation while you're doing so. Also, MP3 playback has to be enabled via progman retrofit if you don't already have it. With this setup you can also play MP3 CDs in the other slot and leave the nav DVD in.

Although I've heard you can not play MP3 CDs on the non-nav cars before a certain date, I have been in an 11/04 build 545 that could. Don't know what it had different, only rode in it once and it had an MP3 CD playing.

is that so? That's good to know thanks for the info. But, will removing the dvd in the navi drive won't reset anything?

I just had an upgrade done and noticed that when playing cd's it also displays dvd option, could one play film/movie dvd's???
