Whats even more exciting is that apparently not only will it play MP3s, but it will also display the ID3 tags as well ... all on the NAV display.

However (yes theres always one of those isn't the) ... right now this has only being verified on 2006 BM54 European NAV Radio, and not the USA BM53 Radio ! So we need someone with a MY 2006 Vehicle to pop one of these new MP3 enabled changers into the vehicle and see if they get the new AUDIOTEXT option after pressing the INFO button. If you do, and you enable it ... you should see ID3 text info ... how exciting is that ...

If thats the case, then the NAV Radio Tuner received a firmware update for MY 2006 to accomodate ID3 tag display.

Heres some screen shots showing the new feature in action on a BM54 NAV System courtesy of one of our friends over in Germany.





With a NAV Radio Tuner that can accomodate ID3 tags ... does this mean that we will finally see a BMW OEM Ipod Interface for NAV systems with ID3 tags .... who knows ... !!
