2. The front dvd drive should play mp3 cds aswell as mp3 dvds, I have done on our 04 comand system.

3. Not sure about whether it is a standard CD changer, it may play mp3 cds.

That is a big plus ! thanks
I once wanted to get my ex-E320 replaced with Mp3 playback audio unit but did not trust the local shops here
( not wanted they screw up the built in mobile phone )

C55 mp3 playback

I made an mp3 disc using roxio easy cd creator and my C55 doesnt play it. I tried it in the changer and behind the lcd where the one cd goes in. They both didnt read the disc.

Presume your disc is 'good' which you already tested playback on your PC.
Is your C55 with audio system model 50 ?
I am worried what I am getting now.

p.s. I recall somebody said he can play MP3 on his E(211)...

Never mind really. My contract says the Audio is System 50 ( there are 20, 30 lower models ). I think G Unit said he can play MP3 , that is on his S Class. And another guy did that was with his E Class(211).
So what I can guess is only the E and S so far can do that.
Anyway, I will test when I get my C55 tommorrow.

I tried playing an MP3 disc in my C55 and it didn't work in any drive (changer, cd, or DVD). I think your audio system in Asia is different. I can't believe a 2005 model car this expensive can't play MP3 discs! My old 2002 Mustang GT could play them and had an in dash 6 cd changer (in the main radio, not separate changer) to boot.
