Hi Ed, should have looked at your idrive at the last meetup, but do you have an "all stations" option under Entertainment-FM? If so you have Professional radio.

Well, that means my 2006 non-Nav is Professional Radio, I too have an "All Stations". Perhaps we can poll the US owners of 2006 cars to determine if all now have this feature and hence this radio?


EDIT - Yet, I have only one slot...

It should be able to play MP3's no?

So it sounds like I'll never have mp3-support via i-drive. I have no nav (standard radio). I guess its time for an ipod/aux input setup.

No nav = standard radio = no MP3.
Standard radio with L7 = still standard radio = no Mp3.

Yes.
Nav means you have radio PRO.
Nav business (just arrows and small screen) can play MP3 with 16.1 and higher.
Nav Pro needs software update in September to play Mp3's.

Iceman, with all due respect I think I've demonstrated that North American cars manufactured in March are challening your grasp of the combination of options being built.

This gentleman may in fact be able to play MP3s the same as I can. Some of the statements in these threads indicate that I may even have a Pro radio. There aren't enough 2006 owners here yet to say with any certainty how the cars are optioned or if they differ at all from previous model years.

The "All Stations" view that is present in my radio along with the ability to see the RDS information from all the stations at once are both listed in these threads as features that are exclusive to the Pro radio. Also, no one has been able to confirm that weather band is exclusive to Pro, but if it is that is another indicator. Regardless, the presence of these features seem to be different from what owners of previous model years have on otherwise similarly-optioned cars.

I think we need more data on "2006" North American cars before we blindly agree with your data.

Anybody with 16.2 tried to MP3 CD in the DVD Drive (Navi Drive)? Usually DVD-Drive are compatible with more Disk Format. When i'm not using the Navigation, the dvd-drive is always use as Second CD Player. I can't verify this since the software on my cars are not updated yet.
