Is there limit on how many mp3s in-dash CD can play?
I burned a DVD-R with about 1,100 mp3s and popped it into in-dash CD. Everything seemed to work fine. I could see and access all the folders. However, beyond a certain folder, it wouldn't play the songs in that folder, even though I could see them. With some trial and error, I discovered that roughly beyond 825th mp3 (it is not very accurate since the system also counts folders as items), it wouldn't play them.
Has anyone experience this problem? Or knows that there is a limit on number of mp3 on DVD?
Thanks.

There is a service tool disc that will upgrade your COMAND to enable mp3 playback, as well as a few nav features.
Search in this forum, all the info is there.

Wait...
You have the APS50, right? And you upgraded the cd changer to one that plays mp3's? If so, then Unclebenz is in business if he upgrades his changer.
