This is very good news!!!! But would be better if its a matter of firmware and not the whole Audio 5 system...

I think it's not a matter of a firmware upgrade. I've heard (on a german forum) that the MP3 capable Audio 5 is a new type.

I have the HK premium audio and my head unit does not do MP3's but the cd changer in the glove box does...

This happens with all Audio Series... also in Audio 5 if you have cd changer you can play MP3's and the TAG info is displayed on the dash board...

Please if anyone has experience of seeing a model like this or is a new owner, confirm here this function.

I think that in "some way" dealers should take care of the old customers.. This model i think its not older than 1,5-2 years, is still on production and its UNFAIR for the first customers to loose this function which will probably come as standard for audio 5 systems...

Cheers

Mine was built late June (possibly early July) and it does not read MP3 Cds
It does, however, have an Audio In (line in ) socket so you can input from your MP3 player, Ipod etc. using a lead with the headphone type socket on either end.

Photos of the socket in earlier thread

It will not display an of the MP3 information (ie Artist or track name)
