Later models did unlike the earlier ones. Look for the mp3 logo at the front of the unit.

As Bacillus said the later model ones will (I cant tell you what year they came in as I dont know).

Easiest way to tell the old from the new is the silver buttons along with the "MP3" logo

Old



New

It came in late 2007 but the silver buttons do not mean it's MP3 as this came in mid 2006.

Cheers Alan, Cheeper than i thought.

Now just the task of justifying it to the ball & chain cos she keeps winging "whats wrong with the one the car already has?" shes already put the skids on a visit to r-tech  :sick: (im still working on it though  :smug: )

The RCD300 is a pretty dull and boring HU to be honest. MP3 support is a must, I dont know how I lived without it.

I was thinking that not telling her might be the way forward  :evil:
