My CD changer can play MP3's too

What I noticed was it took a while to read all the songs.... and if I have 100 or more songs in a CD, it could only display up to 99

Why don't you try it and see?

MP3s will play in my 2005 model. Maybe 2004s won't play them.

if you have 2005 and later nav disk it should work

Hidden ... is a code sequence to input but you'd better ask somebody that already did it because depending on your model year and so on, every time something doesn't work.
or, if you have time, do a search in forum.

No clue I bought my car used.... and tried it when I read a thread about MP3 some time ago.... and found it worked. But still.... 100+ songs, unless they are grouped like ipod, I don't see any practicality on MP3. If you want to go from song #3 to song #89.... good luck clicking 86 times... That's if you remember the order of the songs... LOL.

Like Zoink said. You can create folders and put songs into those folders. The most you can put on a CD is 99 songs. The reason for this I think is that the command unit only displays 2 digits. If I do remember the command units on the 03-04's are different then the 05-06.

I think it could read song # 100+ but they won't be displayed (correctly). Don't remember as I don't play MP3 anymore
