MY2009 CD Changer with MP3?

Could not find if the new generation of audio head units support MP3s on the new SLK's. I'm looking at the standard in dash 6 disc CD changer.

I'm driving a MY2008 C-class and the standard single-CD player plays MP3 just fine. (by the way it's a great car)

Just debating if I should need the iPod kit with the P1 package.

Thanks for any info you have. The dealer wasn't sure and I didn't had a MP3 CD with me.

This is what I've found on the MB UK website. Seems like it will do MP3s.



Sound, vision and more


The latest SLK-Class offers a comprehensive range of entertainment, communication and navigation technology to make your driving experience even more enjoyable.

A new Audio 20 system is fitted as standard, featuring an MP3 compatible radio/CD player and Bluetooth voice connectivity for safe hands free calls. And the 5” colour display makes it a joy to use.

Also available is our innovative new optional UCI (Universal Consumer Interface) socket. This makes using an iPod or other MP3 player blissfully simple - just plug it in and control it via the head unit or multi-function steering wheel.

In addition, you can now choose DAB digital radio as an option on all SLK head units with 6-disc CD Changers. So you can enjoy many more channels and cleaner, crisper audio quality.
