Hmm.. Mine does. I went into the ENG menu and turned on mp3's though, but it definitely reads mp3's out of the cd changer.

Turn ignition key to position 1 or 2.
2. Turn on Command.
3. Turn to Radio.
4. Press 5 (continue holding and wait 1 second).
5. Press 3 (continue to hold along with 5 key and wait 1 second).
6. Press 7 (continue to hold along with 5 and 3 keys and wait about 3 seconds).
7. A menu should appear. Scroll down and select "AMG211_ECE" option.
8. Switch off ignition, remove key and leave about 5 minutes before turning on again

I don't believe that is the Engineering Menu. That menu just lets you select the graphic when COMAND boots up....

But if you have updated your COMAND 2.0 with 04/06 update this backdoor menu is gone and is only available through using SDS to access these features. Am I wrong in stating that?

Please tell me they have it for the w203 also and you already got one for the w203....LOL

Getting tired of hearing the same cd's over and over and would be so much easier if I could make mp3 cd's, since I don't have ipod integration capabilities or an iPod...

I really hope this isn't true because I would have basically screwed myself haha. I had to update to use the newer nav discs... I guess I'll go check right now, kinda bored anyways.

What keys did u press, what order were the pushed in, and what was the time between each key push?

What Menu were you in?

Did this bring up the engineering menu where you can change MP3 settings or just the graphic display?

I'm curious.....
