| Factory MP3 Headunit part numbers
Hi,
I've been searching all the forums but cannot seem to find an answer.
Back in July we've bought an 03 Cooper S in Indy Blue for my wife. It's got leather, sunroof, and the chilli pack. It's a great little car but has one major problem - it's got a stupid Boost Cassette player at the front and a cd changer at the back. I cannot see why a 2003 car will have a cassette player installed!
We've considered upgrading the stereo to an aftermaker one, or getting a BMW original cd headunit which plays MP3s. The problems with an aftermarket is mostly making it more of a target to thieves, and the illumination not exactly matching the dash - which leaves us with the BMW headunit option.
I was told that the MP3 boost headunits have a kind of flat and wide volume knob rather then thin and long, but found similar units which did not play mp3s.
So can anyone please provide the part numbers of the Boost CD players which play MP3s? Any any details how to recognise them (such as built date, stickers, etc)
Thanks a lot! Looking forward to attend a meet in summer
