Hello All
Question is does the CD player (with Harmon/Kardon) in the C55 play MP3's.
TIA

Even our RHD C55 does not have HK audio ( we have Audio 5 )
but not that I heard / read that C55 can play mp3.
I know the US version C55 , you can find a aux jack inside the cd changer compartment side , you can plug your Ipod to it.

Unfortunately not. I've tried burning to both CD & DVD, and tried the single CD slot, the CD Changer, and the DVD Nav. slot, no joy in any of them.

That was what I meant - I been researching last year. Only E55 , SL55 can play mp3 . For C55 , you need to locate the AUX input jack
in the cd changer glovebox location and plug a mp3 device such as ipod to it. The audio cd player does not support MP3 on CDROM.

Most of portable audo CD players support MP3 and WMA now. I just checked my local Best Buy and 2 players of 3 supported to my surprise.

Yes, at least mine does, my COMAND was replaced I don't know if that made a difference, or if my original unit also played MP3? Only the in-dash CD will play MP3 not the changer.

I'm still tring to confirm this as I have a bunch of CDs that I burned MP3's to and all the songs play in my C55. However, last night I burned some new MP3's using Roxio (version 5.0) and none of the songs played in my car! Not the single slot nor the magazine.

I have a newer CD with burned MP3's on it and it plays in my car just fine but I can't remember which computer I used to burn the CD. This is the same type of disc (CD-RW) that I used last night that didn't work. So I'm guessing it has to do with the software used. If you have the right version of Roxio, it WILL work.

I looked at the extensions for all my songs and the CD's that work in my car all have the following extension...

.cda

So they aren't MP3 format b/c the CD I ripped last night has the .mp3 extension and these won't play in my car. So there ya have it.
