Playing MP3s on a FACTORY BMW CD changer

[p-car]

how can you verify what version you monitor has?

and if you install an Alpine CHA-S634 CD/MP3 changer with CD-text funktion, will it display track info on you NAV monitor?

If your CD track number is displayed as TR xx-xxx and you get CDx in small text at the top then you have the newer BM53/54. If you get CDC xx-xxx then you have an older BM53/54.

Only if you use an Intravee (as previously mentioned) as the connection between the BMW iBus and the Alpine AI-Net. All other adapters I know of that allow the CHA-S634 to be used in BMW's use the older Alpine M-Bus system (there is a switch on the CHA-S634 to allow M-Bus or AI-Net). The M-Bus system is not capable of sending track text info, or folder navigation.
