dunno.. u try it..

Have to give it a go on my wife's 330CD as the multichanger in mine is disconnected. It's a 7/05, but for the price of a CD, gotta be worth a check.

but you have to make sure production date is 9/05 or newer..

called 1 dealer and the guy told me that part number has been around for a long time, he saids maybe the part number has not changed but they could had updated the firmware on the changer for the Mp3 function. plus he asked the sale manager that has the newer x5 and he said it does not play mp3....

The part # on changer changed since 10/2004

both say (independently) that this new CD Changer will be out dec/jan.. no part # yet.

Now I need to buy a used plain one to get by for 1-2 months..

I can confirm that the 2006 4.8is factory CD player plays mp3s without any modification. Only tried it because of this thread and was pretty psyched to discover it works. Have a nice Thanksgiving.

Are you talking about in-dash cd player?

That's interesting.. if it's the CD changer you're talking about then can you please tell us

1) The part # of your CD changer.. try looking on the back..
2) What NAVI Software version are you running?
3) do you see the TEXT of the song/file name on screen?

I think it's wierd that BMW doesn't advertise these features. It's basically up to the owner to somehow find out that the changer plays mp3s. Think about all the X5 owners that haven't discovered X5world yet .
