So to confirm with those out there... would 2004 e60s with pro nav in USA/Canada be able to play mp3s with software upgrade to 19.2? or would we need to wait for awhile?

thanks guys... sorry if this is a repeat... thanks!!

 

I think I finally know the answer to this question mostly. The answer depends partly on your hardware at this point. I don't think any 04's have the right hardware. With the right hardware, 19.02.03 will allow MP3 provided one has Pro Nav/CCC--which as I understand the issue is the standard Nav in the US on at least the e60's. If one's car does not have the right hardware, then it is doubtful that he or she will ever be able to play MP3's since a software update alone will not likely do the trick. Das says: "as of right now, my Week 40 vehicle with Nav Pro/CCC and E060-05-09-535 (CIP 19.02.03) can play MP3s in the single slot CD player." I think a build in week 40 of 2005 is the key for having the right hardware.

Please correct me all those in the know.

 

wow... then that sucks... we were all waiting for mp3s capability since even buying the car... that was the discussion that everyone was doing since the car was introduced...

 

Yep, it is disappointing for many. Maybe the hardware issue was not known to us much earlier than now.

 

I'm still not happy about this...

 

Yes, I doubt I'll ever have MP3--unless BMW does free hardware upgrades.
