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.

I tried it. I have NAV, 16.2, and NO MP3 playback in either the CD or DVD (NAV) slot.
Hope that helps, I am going with Iceman on this one.

[/quote]I'll send that. I've also read here that once you plot in the course in Nav you can take out the DVD but everytime I do that it stops nav + tells me to insert the DVD. Is there a trick to this or did I misread + it can't be done?

[/quote]Not with nav pro. Maybe with business where all you get is arrow display. The DVD has to be in there for the mapping.

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.

I know you have MP3, and I don't know why.
BUT: What I am telling ppl here on the board is not MY GUESS, it's from somebody who works in Munich for some car manufacturer we know...
For MP3 you NEED radio pro, what is NOT standard in the US. It is NOT standard with L7 either.
It looks like yours can play it because of the Sirius.
Anyways, the official BMW statement is, MP3 ONLY with radio pro, radio pro only with nav in the US.

I think it's very likely that all 2006 E60s in NA have Pro Radio as standard regardless of whether the car has Nav.

Read above.
If it would be like this, Munich wouldn't be aware of the change...

Only on cars with business nav. Not with pro nav.
That means, in the US you can't do it, since bus nav is no option.

i contacted BMWNA about this and they told me that there were no plans in the us for non nav cars to get mp3 ability pre march 05 build

build date, I told him, "by end of this month, and beginning of next month, week 22 production". He said that I should not have a problem play MP3s via the in-dash CD player.
