Radio Pro, what is the STANDARD radio in the US. No nav, no L7, no CD changer.
With that configuration you only get one CD slot, no second DVD drive.

My car has Business Navigation. Because it was ordered with Logic7, it also has Professional Radio. It was only ordered with preparation for CD-Changer. Now, I have the single DVD drive and the cubby hole in dash.

Yet, I have MP3, capabilities... What means this?

I got the following reply from AC S5 about Business radio and MP3:
"Apparently they work for MY 2006 cars with Business Radio. Don't know the difference (radio) for MY 2005 and MY 2006"
Anybody has a september 2005 or later car with Business radio and MP3 working? A confirmation would be highly appreciated before i finalise my 530xd configuration.

 

So... I will call the garage tomorrow and I will get a precise answer....
I will give you the feedback asap.

Nevertheless, my agency told me that all the car built after September 1st, are considered as 2006 models... so, maybe MY 2006 (maybe something like "Model Year 2006"... )

So... if the Business radio is MP3 ready... The optional (...in Europe) Professionnal Radio should be too... no ?

 

I have a "26.9.2005 Production Date" E61 with Nav Pro and Logic 7 and IT DOESN'T PLAY MP3s.

Hi,

I've a E61 build in CW42 (10/17/2005) and it plays MP3 with Nav Pro. It seems that in about CW38/39/40 there was a change of something. So all new Nav Pro E60/E61 I've heard of can play MP3...
