Are you talking about mp3 discs or mp3 through AUX?
How come I can't play mp3 discs on my 05???

I'm assuming because you don't have comand. I use the aux mod and hook it up to my ipod.

Are you putting the disc in your head unit or in your disc changer? Its already known the changer can play MP3's.

If you have a CD changer the changer itself should be able to play MP3s in 2005+ - it just takes forever to load.

If you have a 2005 COMAND it will NOT play MP3s within the head unit itself. You need (I believe) an 06 or newer for that. I think the changed happened some time in the middle of 06. Or you can just get the 2008 G class COMAND w/ MP3 and rear view camera input.

Are you the original owner of the vehicle? That COMAND unit had to have been installed at a later date. It is not a 2005 COMAND unit. You can check your VIN number to find out which options were original from the factory.

Either that or someone somewhere knew how to update the software on that unit to have MP3 capability (something that is not possible AFAIK). If you press OK + 7 + MUTE with the right timing and hold all 3 you can find out what software version you have on the unit.

1. Although it says differently in the manual, the non-command head unit does NOT play MP3 discs.

2. SOME CD-Changers will play MP3's, but you can only burn 99 files per CD.

3. Command units should play MP3 discs directly from the Command unit but acr2001 sounds like he has more info on this one.

Good catch Nick. The scum bag is full of crap, if you have a 2005 COMAND unit or regular head unit you cannot play MP3s unless you get a CD changer (and it must be an MP3 capable CD changer!)

This thread should be deleted.

Worth the read for the "mecanician" comments alone. It must have been the mecanician that make the 05 COMAND play MP3s.

the title of the song also appears here.
bu the way , before burning the mp3 cd u should remove titles, artist name , genre and everything of each song ( by clicking right click on the mp3 ->properties -> summary -> delete everything in it like artist, genre , title ...etc)

1. noone said that they don't believe your particular car won't play MP3's though command.

2. I think they like to be called "little people"

3. Are these pictures before or after the "63" conversion?

hahaha I needed that laugh. I don;t know maybe he isn;t lying. The reason I am saying this is because I have seen an E55 engine in a non AMG w203.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBJQ_c3BzMM

But a 63 engine is kind of hard to believe especially in a 230 I would say on a C55 maybe change it to a 63. lol

At this point I'm going to say 90 lie and 10 maybe

Ohh guys by the way my mecanician is putting a TTV12 engine is my Mercedes Smart

Props to who ever really owns this car and whoever made this happen. Post more pics and if it is your props to you.

Now you can get rid of the Downtune (Black Series upgrade) and get it over 500 HP
