My Ride: 2006 525i, Premium,Cold,Xenon Packages
Default

I have a 2006 525i w/o NAV or Premium Audio (Logic7) .. I have read at diff forums, ppl with DVD Navigation drive were able to read DVD-Rs burned with MP3s..

I was just curious, Is it possible somehow to replace my CD Drive with a DVD Drive (Dont need any NAV features.) so I could play Mp3s from burned DVD-Rs, which takes out the need to install an AUX or IPOD Adaptor completely.

TIA!

Hey,

Old post I know, but did you ever get anymore with regards to swapping the in-dash CD drive for an in-dash DVD?

the nav-drive can read the mp3 cd's, but obviously I would like to leave the nav cd in there and have another dvd above it for the music disc...

Why not upgrade to the ipod option and you can play all the mp3s you like...
