1-Yes
2-No
3-The folder structure has to be in the specified format for an MP3 disk (any disk burning software can do this automatically). Any other files besides mp3's will not be displayed.

"No supported and readable audio medium found in the internal drive"

Are you sure your in dash CD can play MP3?

Create a MP3 CD just using copy and paste or drag and drop in Windows....nothing fancy.

As long as it is MP3 format and your indash is MP3 ...then no problem.

Also....update your profile to tell us your location and what car you have

yes it did not before, but i found a .pdf file for bmw technicians instructions on how to retrofit MP3 playback in the factory cd player. i have a 2005 530i and from richmond, va. print the attached file on this post and then take it with you to your local dealer to request for your cd player to be retrofitted with it.
