If someone knows exactly what I need to do, please explain rather than redirect me to another thread. I have been reading up on this and don't have a clear answer. My head unit has the latest firmware/software (v32) with the 3D Navi. My CD changer is the original from 2003. My understanding is that my 2003 MK4 is capable of playing MP3 CDs but that my changer is not. Do I need to swap out the changer with a newer part to get this functionality to work?

Also, my system has a hard time playing CDRs. I have tried burning CDs on my computer (regular CD format, not MP3). The unit takes a while but eventually plays the CD, but the sound is just crackling to the beat. Any help with this is appreciated!
