My Ride: 545i SE Oct 03 (53 plate) 19" Alpina Classic rims
Hello to you all.
I have been lurking on this forum for quite a while - so first up, many thanks for the great info.
I thought that my early 545i with business Nav wouldn't play back MP3's via the sat nav dvd slot - but after reading the various posts on this forum, I thought I would give it a try.
Well, it works, and the interface on the Idrive is quite usable.
Tried a DVD+RW and CDR and they both playback fine.
So thanks again for the tip, you've saved me some cash!

How many MP3 albuns have you putted in your DVD?
In mine E61 I only can see the first 20 (25 maximum),
The others aren't shown in the display.
Does that happens only to me?
Thank you?

Leave it alone,. Get an iPOD and the AUX input OR iPOD adapter. More songs anyway. Make some CD's of your fav music, You can only listen to sooo much music in a day. CD's are a cheap medium. That's how I'm dealing with MY disappointment over the situation.....MIND GAMES!!!!!

i have Busi Navi to, and my car can play the entire 4.7 GB DVD of music... perhaps you have a old version with some bugs...
When I have time I will take my car to BMW to see what is its version and upgrade.
Is it free? My car is from Set/05.
Thank you madoon and all the others.
