To be honest I don't remember. There is a high probability though as I hadn't used the SW before.

Thanks. It is not as refined as the W211 but it's no slouch either!

In Nero, you click the column header. Then it will be sorted. I use a program called "File and MP3 Name Tagger". There you can easly construct filenames from the ID Tags in all kind of combinations.

SO dose the MP3 CD changer work with my stock none Navi CLK 208 ? i jsut need to change the CD changer out and the sterring wheel control still work ?

I have read the thread about MP3 players with growing interest, assuming it meant som type of hard disk or solid state music system. More careful reading suggests that is actaully just referring to the abilty of the CD player to play CDs that contain MP3s. Is that right? I have been told that my factory fitted cd changer already does this without any software upgrade or other changes - not tried it though

Have you got COMAND? If so you will just need a software upgrade to the COMAND system.

Good luck,
John

Thanks for response. Not COMAND but APS 50 Sat Nav.

[QUOTE=andyKen]There are a few members from the UK, and hopefully they will respond. Unfortunately I have the COMAND option which had to have a software upgrade before it would play Mp3's

Good luck with your quest

[QUOTE=andyKen]Since you do not have COMAND, your only chance to play MP3's it to use the CD changer. If your car was produced after April 24th '04 (I think that was the date), it will have MP3 changer. If not, you will have to replace the changer. It will work together with the APS50

Can anyone lead me to that cool site with all the pictures of his merchandise? I think it's an MSN picture library, or something similar. Thanks...

Hello,

Anyone here has the software to update the console? Mine is 2004 W211 US Model. I read in this forum that some people are able to play MP3 by upgrading the software only. Will this work on US or just Euro model?

you have to burn the cd in ISO format.
CD changer can only play something like 100 songs per CD

Welcome to Schrepp world order.

What post is this in response to please? The COMAND system accepts CD's filled with Mp3's. Although I generally break them up into manageable folders.

The CD Changer will only show and play the first 99 MP3's per CD, even if you have room for more on the CD. CD's in the DVD player in the COMAND will show and play more (up to the space limit)

glojo

Thanks Oslo,
At the moment we are more than pleased with everything about our vehicle and cannot justify getting the new CD changer.

It sounds like a DVD full of Mp3's might well out play a CD changer full of Mp3's

Thanks again,
John

Youre absolutely right! A DVD full of MP3's will contain about 1200-1300 tunes, while the CD changer full of MP3 CD's only will contain 594....

glojo

I knew you would have the correct figures. How was my 48 yards a second?? (I am asking for a fall here)

It's thanks to your knowledge that I have managed to get the Mp3 upgrade.

Hi, new here. Just got a used 04 E500 on Thursday. I have the same quesiton as IPOLO. Can the firmware in a 04 head unit be updated to play MP3's? If yes does this mean the 04 6 disc changer will also play MP3's. My system will only play MP3's that have been converted to standard Audio format. I can only get the track name to display, not the artist. Using standard ID3 track tags and file naming conventions.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Oslo

Got all the toys, but missing this one? There are several posts regarding this. As I understand it, US cars of MY '04 doesn't have a DVD drive in the headunit, and therefore not possible. If you like to play MP3's from the CD Changer, you will have to replace the CD changer with a newer model.

Thanks Oslo, that's what I thought but wanted to confirm it. Now all I need to do is to get CD text to work correctly on MP3's burned to Audio CD format. All I get is the track title, no CD name or artist. Burning CD's with Nero.
