My Ride: 2005 530i, Jet Black, Black Leather, Automatic, Cold Weather, Sirius Prep and Radio, Premium Package, Xenon Lights.
I've verified now that I am in fact burning CD-Rs with full CD-Text. I confirmed it with another separate CD player that displays CD-Text (it does with my CDs) and a Win XP tool that can pull the CD-Text info from a CD to examin it - it all works.
No CD-Text is displayed in my 530i - USA in dash CD player. I think I'm on V.13 software - no CD changer installed. Only the in-dash.
Anyone have different results?
- Thanks
Tom

[/quote]Yep, they're seperate alright. Two slots on the center dash. One for CD and one for DVD right below.
...and BTW, I've no CD text on any CD player, center dash or 6-pack. RDS either for that matter.

I've never seen CD text in my car ever... I've heard rumours of it, but very few people have confirmed that it works...

Here's two images:
CD in center console in-dash unit will display the song title (e.g. Get Low (ft. Ying Yang Twins)
6Disc Changer will not display song title (Only display Track2)

there have been a lot of debates about this poblem. From the other posts, I can conclude that in dash cd without NAV wont show the CD text. A lot of people with NAV have cd text on their idrive screen.
hope this helps.
