Can US 6CD Command Display Mp3 titles
I read the manual for my existing Command in my '05 E55 and burned a CD with ".mp3" extensions and it played and displayed the actual title and folders as I had entered it when burned.
The manual ststed that this is only possible with the single loaded changer, which I used for the above. I have not tried the same CD in the 6 CD tray yet, but expect the manual is right
Does the above mean that the head unit can be software modified to allow the 6 CD changer to perform as the single unit?
Can a splitter or some similar mod be performed to the single CD unit to allow it to display IPOD info? My Aux plays the Ipod fine, but it is not a data port, as we know.
Thank you very much

Hi -S-.
Thanks for the reply. Regarding no technical info-no kidding. The manual was WRONG with regard to only the single CD changer bein able to display mp3 info, as I put my burned CD into the 6CD changer and it indeed displayed the correct name of the file on the head unit... so what would it take to get the Ipod to do the same thing, more specifically, please? Better, has anyone done it? Any enhanced display for the mp3's?
Thank you very much
