Well, the e90 can, the e60 can't... officially. BUT: the newest software for the e60 seems to enable MP3 playback on the e60...

Apparently a lot of E60's now HAVE MP3 playback with the new software.
My guess is, they have a problem (we know they do!) and can't find the perfect solution (we know that too!). So what they do is, they make kind of a field research, give some E60's the MP3 playback and wait what errors get reported. They did it this way in the past. So, maybe this is the reason the US is not having MP3 currently, and the German spec cars get it...
Once I have the new software I'll kow for sure. But this will be in February...

Why are you only getting it in February?
Thanks!

On 30 dec 2005 I had CIP 20.0 installed on a 535d E60 Nav pro 09/04 build.
Good news:
1) no further bugs introduced, till now
2) steptronic in DS mode seems to be more aggressive
3) after a sleep period iDrive boot is very fast, at least faster than before
4) during a BT phone call if you press idrive button you can choose to hang-up or (new) to digit a DTMF number
Bad news:
NO MP3 capability at all.
Dealer said that in order to have MP3 function I have to change CCC.
I have Aux input for Ipod and it's currently sufficient for me.

Well, if indeed the CCC needs to be changed they better take the full cost or I can already see heaps of legal issues for BMW. If for one bought a e60 with the commitment of being able to play mp3
Perhaps they are willing to provide a free CD changer instead. Which I did not buy because I would get mp3 in September. I guess I forgot to ask whcih year

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
I doubt the CCC needs to be changed becasue the e90's can do it and I am making an assumption that the hardware that runs the Nav can not be too different betweeen the models

Hello!
I know that the mp3 functionality in our cars is a mystic thing.
I found this picture in the gallary, it was made in Wullf1's car.
His car is a 2006 530xi us spec with pro nav and the mp3 functionality is given!???
Any reasons for that?
Regards
Dwarf
