What's the difference between Prof Radio and just regular? I have non-Nav system.

Thanks!

Prof Radio Has 2 Tuners and uses a CD-ROM drive insted of a normal CD Audio Drive giving you the ability to play MP3's. In the US you can only get prof radio with NAV

Damn it! I guess no MP3 for me

Sorry, my question might sound kind of stupid, but what do you do with two tuners? What is the purpose?

Thanks!

Actually not so anymore. For the US, 2006 model year (starting with March 05 production) has Pro radio even without Nav. Mine and many other peoples' cars do. MP3 since delivery in April 05!
