Mp3 support in 2007 C230

Does anybody know if stock CD player in 2007 C230 can play CDs with MP3 files?

The brochure says that "AM/FM stereo/ weatherband radio. In dash single CD player with MP3 capability" is standard. However the manual says (page 202) "The single CD player play audio CDs, the CD changer can play audio CDs as well as CDs with MP3 files." I don't have CD changer installed, just the basic MB audio.

When I insert a CD with MP3s I'm seeing "Track 1" on display and nothing else happens. Please, advice!

the stock deck doesnt play mp3s. only the changer does. the brochure is totally off. but I have heard it somewhere that you have to tell the dealer to swap you a newer version of the deck so that it will play mp3s.

Thanks, Sanf! When you said "swap a new version of the deck", did you mean that the dealer needs to install a new CD player or just upgrade firmware?

This forum is great!

i've heard of both man. i guess it depends on how much your dealer wants to charge Mercedes back for the service. hahahaha. so just tell them your problem and as long as they get you what you are looking for, new deck or firmware upgrade.. it doesnt really matter.
