I have MY 05 with NAV, and single CD player. I think I have v. 16 software. I cannot play MP3s in the cd player. I am going in for service and want to know if upgrading to v. 18 will result in MP3 capability??

The new software that enables MP3 playback is expected to be released in October/November!
