My car was in service over this weekend and new software was installed (v. 18). I was pretty disappointed to find out that (as per my SA) that MP3 is still not available, but I thought I've seen a post on this forum about someone who had MP3 enabled on Non-Nav cars in the States. Can someone confirm that?

MP3 ONLY with radio PRO.

Until March 2005 US cars without nav came with the standard radio, what is bus = no MP3.
Since then all US E0's seem to come with radio pro as standard, so with no nav, car built March05 or later = MP3.

Generally, cars w/o nav and with radio bus = NO MP3! Cars w/o nav and with radio pro = MP3!

Cars that have nav (bus or pro) allways have radio pro.

Cars with nav bus have the M-ASK, they can play MP3's.
Cars with nav pro have the CCC, they need the software update, that will be released soon, looks like early December now, hopefully November. October seems to be impossible.

US cars allways have nav pro, there is no nav bus in the USA.

Iceman,

What do you mean by Radio Pro? Logic 7?

Thanks!
Serge.

Outside the USA you get a business radio tuner and a professional radio tuner

One needs the professional radio tuner to have MP3

Its got nothing to do with logic 7, its what in other cars is known as the "headunit"

Sorry, my question might be dumb, but how do I see what radio tuner I have?

Thanks!

I have the Pro radio, it has an option which shows all stations an the tuning dial, I havnt seen the none pro, but was under the impression(thought i read it in the brochure) that the business radio didnt have this veiw. It also has dual tuners for better reception. Iceman might confirm this, and I might be wrong....maybe this might help ID which you have..

Confirm Logic 7 has nothing to do with MP3, it is there to process the sound and support the speaker set up for various "surround" options.

Looking at Icemans post on USA cars it seems you unfortunately have the Busines radio ( was standard till March 2005 )

This means you will not be able to play MP3

AFAIK your car has been produced too early. At this point of production when yours was made, it looks like the standard radio was the business radio. The only way to have a pro radio on your US car would have been the nav.

Yes, the dual tuner is a pro feature. You can see "all stations" available.

With Professional and non-NAV: MP3 (in single player)
With Professional Nav: MP3 in Oct/Nov..etc

With Business Nav/Non Nav: No MP3

For North America, I think we only get Prof Nav and therefore anyone with Nav in NA will not have MP3 until Oct/Nov.....

However, there are still some reports flying around with the exceptions....

I have no Sat nav fitted but do have the Pro Radio, it has dual tuners, and shows all stations on the display as an option. The good news is that MP3 works great on the single CD player

You have bus nav so I dont know...I dont have Nav at all thats why I have MP3..it was a choice I made from the start, thought MP3 was more important to me personally than NAV. I use Tom Tom for that
