Hi fans!
Sorry for opening the 325987235987th topic about MP3/USB/Dension/iPOD. But currently my car plays only radio and audio CDs which has been driving me crazy!
So, my car is produced 10/2006 (serial number CX75792). I have the very basic iDrive with the smaller screen, no navigation, no MP3 playback. schulrog was so kind to check the serial number and turns out the car is CD-changer pre-wired.
My ultimate goal is to play MP3's from a USB stick/hard-drive via iDrive. The Dension website says the 500 will not display text unless I have a Professional nav. But some people have apparently reported it worked for them.
* How can I make sure the Dension 500 will work properly with my iDrive?
* Where can I see pics/video of the Dension 500 in action? Is the interface better than the OEM iPod integration kit with the playlists and limitations etc.?
* Is the MOST interface built in the faceliftss (LCI) and the M-ASK on the previous model? Or MOST comes with Navi Prof and M-ASK with the basic iDrive?

Dension plays perfect on my Idrive. I have the most basic idrive, no Nav, no mp3. Dension displays text perfectly and hell yes the Dension is better than the Ipod integration kit.
Good luck.
