Lightbulb 2008 CDI head unit MP3/DVD

My 05 would play MP3 dvds. Is there a code of firmware upgrade to allow my 2008 to achieve this? Need my MPS/DVD. It was a great option to getting an ipod. Or did they do this so they could sell you that option. Any suggestions to an aftermarker conversion for ipod?
Thanks.
Great forum.

Great forum.
From everything I have seen, including my 08 E550, the DVD drive was removed; you can play MP3s from a CD in the head unit slot and see the folders etc on the Comand screen. You can also play MP3s in any or all of the 6 slots in the CD changer -- without the information appearing (or at least usable information appearing). I think this is a matter of the hardware not software. If someone could figure out a way to let a CD drive read a data DVD that would be great, but to my knowledge it has not happened.
