Change Standard CD Changer for MP3 CD Changer with MKIV Nav

Change Standard CD Changer for MP3 CD Changer
This site suggest i need BM53/BM54 radio unit to enable MP3 support (65 12 6 988 276)
Range Rover Bluetooth Installation instructions
Best Sellers BMW Latest Version BM53/BM54 Radio

But this site says the MKIV DVD Nav Computer allows support of MP3

Can i just but the MP3 CD changer and plug and play with song information on the nav display?

You need both a MKIV and a current BM53/BM54 radio to get the full MP3 support.

If you do not have the radio & nav, then the MP3 will still work, but it will just show many tracks with no ID3 information on the display.

Based on the year of your car, you have the MKIV. So, you just need to update the radio and add the current CDC.

Thanks Brian

Do you know from which date the BM54 radio supported ID3 tags?

Looking at real oem, i probably have part number 65126943452 or 65126943450

Is 65126988276 the only one that currently supports ID3 tags?

Thanks

I have heard that you can get your bm54 re-flashed to have the latest version of the firmware installed and this will allow dynamic routing AND the ID3 tag implementation.

I've only seen it on German forum sites though.

Good Spot - but as usual one answer leads to more questions.

I am looking to upgrade my Range Rover, but on the GROM website it says it's compatible with Range Rover with Alpine Stereo. I dont have an alpine unit, it's all BMW. So i look at the BMW ones and they dont work with DSP, which i have, so is my only option to get a newish BM54 unit and MP3 CD Changer

Guys
See this thread below for more information on the BM54 AND a flash file for the EEPROM upgrade.

Should answer some of your questions.
