Nothing MB related (sorry)
If you have a US spec DVD comand, it should be capable of playing MP3s.

As far as DVD capability is concerned: that is only possible on Euro DVD comands. Here is a link with more info:

Alpine now offers a Factory Display Interface Adapter. It sells for $300. You'd have to purchase a seperate DVD player or changer and a seperate MP3 player (Alpine also offers an adapter for your iPod). This might be what you were asking about, hope it was some help. I'd check with a local shop to make sure about compatability before making the purchase.

Here's the website description:
Now you can add on and upgrade your system without sacrificing the factory look or functionality in your car. With the Alpine VPA-B211A, VehicleHub Interface Adapter, you can easily connect aftermarket video, navigation, iPod®, and other drive-changing devices. Control your new upgraded system conveniently through VehicleHub’s easy-to-use graphical interface via remote control. You won’t have to modify your dash and change out your factory radio or monitor just to get more excitement out of your ride.

Do you have a cd stacker? You might find that it plays cd mp3, mine does.
