mp3 cd on COMAND
I'm not a super tech guy but maybe some of you are. Since i have the factory Nav which is cd-rom based. Would it be possible to burn an mp3 cd so that it could be played? This way you could have many albums with out having to use a changer. I had an old infiniti with nav but had to burn a cd-rom for the CA map as the car was from out of state. I remember having to follow a sequence to make the disc readable but never thought of the mp3 idea. Anyway was just throwing it out there.
I'm going to upgrade the unit later anyway but this would be a sweet short cut.

I kind of doubt it. Some cars do have a port in the left side of the glove box where you could plug in an MP3 player.

Suggest you use a good quality cable or else the music is going to sound bad.

My car didn't come with that. Unfortunately, its pre-wired but no cable or hole in glove box. I checked when I changed my cabin filters.

Basically from what I remember, it's pre-wired. I just need to buy the aux connector and splice it to the aux line on the back of the head unit, or it just plugs up. But for some reason all w210's with Comand didn't have an aux hook up straight from the factory, although they have the aux button.

That's weird... do you know if it came with the Nav from the factory?

The glove box door will still close. I bought a cable for $6, and use my old ipod classic. All my music in one place and it sounds great. The only down side is the system does not save your Bass and Treble preferences on the AUX setting. You have to manually adjust each time you turn the car on. I just crank bass and treble to 10 and enjoy.
