Got an upgrade to Cp20 yesterday. It crashed the computer. The dealer found(afterwards) that MP3 retrofit doesn't work with E60's which have CD in glovebox. Now I have to have a new compueter for the i drive. Courtesy of BMW thank god.

It worked fine on other cars I know with CD Changer in govebox.
But even some E90 have had to have their CCC replaced for it to work properly ( with CD Chamger or without )

You meant your CD changer can play MP3?

No, mountainboy's dealer said that MP3 does not work if you have the CD changer fitted in the glovebox.I replied that i have the changer in the glovebox and MP3 works fine !

That's right. I saw a chart from BMW it said not possible. My car is a 05/05 build

The attached chart says a CD changer that plays MP3s won't be available for the E60 until 03/07, but I don't interpret that to mean you can't have the in dash CD player MP3 capable if you have a CD changer. Is this the chart you're referring to?

Excellent info, stream!
Thanks

Wow, that's a long way off. I wonder how hard a timeline that is.
