Questions about the Stereo in 2008 3 - 10/31/2007 12:53:54 PM    mhaner   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/31/2007 Status: offline We just bought my wife a 2008 3 sedan with the S Touring Package. It has the Moonroof/6CD in dash package also. Does this headunit support mp3 cd's? I've read that it does, but I've burned 2 discs, using both formats (ISO and ISO+Joliet, Long Files Names and only 8+3) and also one with folders and one with everything in the root folder and it doesn't seem to recognize either. It acts like to starts to play track 1 but no audio comes out and you can't skip tracks. Which makes me think it's just seeing a data track and not seperate MP3 files. We love this car, and I can't wait to break it in so I can see what it can really do :). Now I know why Mazda owners are so loyal to their cars. Well any help is appreciated thanks. Mike Post #: 1
