Also, be aware that having an MP3 capable head unit won't let you play MP3 CDs via your CD changer.

Finally, the MP3 capability on this unit does not extend to giving you track titles. You just get a folder number and track number, which is not really very good at all.

Hope this helps

Hi Oli,

This Dension 300 sounds interesting (just looked around on the net for it). Will it work with the radio casette (it's a Boost) whilst retaining the MFSW controls, or does it need a CD Boost to work?

MP3s off a USB stick is far better for me then using cds. I don't mind loosing the cd changer, as I can fit that in my E46 bmw and gain some more space in the Mini's boot
