HI There,

I tried searching the ICE forum but found nothing on this.

Can the R56 Headunit play mp3's if written on a DVD?

I am trying to justify the iPod Interface cost. But if the headunit can play a DVD I do not see the point (especially if it shows track titles etc. on the SatNav!

)

My thinking is that if I can fit 250+ mp3 songs on a CD and 800+ on a DVD. With only 6 possible playlists on the iPod (when used in the R56 and a maximuim of 255 tracks per playlist) I can fit all that I would be able to play on my iPod onto a couple of DVD's. Sure there is the issue of ease of use when it comes to searching for a track. But I'm a random type of guy anyway...

I know the R56 unit will play and display mp3's written on CD.

Any pictures of this being displayed on the SatNav screen?

Thanks for the help.
