Hi,

having had a good look around for an upgrade from the factory fitted 6x CD changer with optical output to something that can just stream MP3s, I've come to a realisation that such a swap may not be possible at all. It seems that there's no suitable MP3 alternatives with an optical output that would fit the car (ML270 2002).

I've got a hard wired FM transmitter installed already and it's not too bad but a bit cumbersome as you need to always have your phone/iPod connected.

The introduction of the new Pioneer SPH-DA120 is very welcome but will set you back by around £500 - not sure I'm ready to part with that much dough.

Anyone have any luck with upgrading the changer to something that'll either play MP3s or stream audio via Bluetooth?

Do check to see if the MP40 is compatible with the 163, just google search MP40
