Just wondering... so will 2004 and 2005 cars ever get mp3 capability in those cars equipped with pro nav here in USA and Canada? I was anticipating this since last year... we were all waiting for this... I hope BMW does take care about this issue for all of us... it's been a long wait...

His Response

I think the concern here should be that some people (not accusing here) do not realize the difference between an MP3 and a WAV file. They just assume that coming from a computer it is called an "MP3". The real question to ask is how many songs do you have on a disc. If it is less than 20 - very good, you have a CD player in your car. If it is over 100 - let us know....

E60s, regardless of their production year, that have M-ASK and pro radio, have MP3 with the latest software.
Mine does. Iceman explained this already on more than one ocasions.

I have Nav Pro. How do i know if i have a pro radio? I think they did a software update last week in Germany when they changed the language of the voice input to English (it has perspective... whatever that means).
I have been feeding it with all sorts of cds with mp3 files in every hole i see (cd, dvd, changer) but no success. Maybe he is not hungry...
Thanks.

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
my 06 plays MP3's - but halfway through a song - sometimes and at different spots each time I play a song - it stops and says can't read data
I've burnde with Nero with subfolders
With nero without folders
With windows media
all do it
If anyone can tell me how to fix I would appreciate it
I have considered reloading all of my cd's on my computer ata higher bit rate (currently128) - but this takes up more space
Also I want to use folders - searching through 150 songs is hard
