Hi Folks,

From what I can find I think that my current CDC (mc3330 - A220 827 46 42) won't play mp3's - can anyone confirm this (it certainly doesn't work when I try it!)?

AND, from what I can find out the MC3520 does support mp3 - can anyone confirm this?

AND - given that I've currently got my CDC in place, does anyone know if I can just switch it out for the mc3520 with no issues?

I've got a C class 05 reg. with audio20.

many thanks as always !
John

Excellent - thankyou !
I'm going to assume, from your reply, that my current one really doesn't support mp3 :-(


thanks again for the precise answer !

I think you are right. The MC3520 does support MP3's. Provided the connections are the same its a simple swap but you may need a new bracket or some Velcro!

You C class on an 05 plate will be MOST based so the swap should be straight forward.
