MID MP3 Compatible???
Hello everyone,

New to the forum here... I was wondering if anyone has a part number or what to look for on the CD player MID that is MP3 compatible??? I know it was in vehicles newer than 2004, but I'd like to have something else to go by incase something was swapped out. Thanks in advance

Why bother with old technology?? You can get a mediabridge or a Grom and just rip MP3 files to a jump drive or other digital media instead of burning CDs.

Rather not go that route and have extra stuff in my car. Looking to retro this into my E39.

Plus you would have BT, AUX, USB and XM radio if you want. The extra stuff is a very small box that can be hidden in many places. All features work from existing controls. You would lose the CD player but---

Yes, don't bother getting new HU. Not only those are more expensive than aftermarket solutions (such as mediabridge or a Grom), still very limited function.

don't waste your money on an OEM unit, get a good aftermarket or go with an iPod interface

Correction: Says the man with two 1970 Lotus in his garage and a 1982 PORSCHE.

They are not OLD cars they are VINTAGE Classic cars.

Well I can get a CD player for around $75 and I like the old technology lol. I don't really care about bluetooth and the AUX or USB is pointless for me as I don't like having my phone plugged in either or own an iPod. I like the stock MP3 because it's oem, looks clean, and I don't have extra stuff kicking around in my car.
