I believe the RCD300 and RCD500 do, but only the newer ones that have "MP3" written on the front by the cd slot. I have the RCD300 and it does play them and show all the song details on the screen. I think the new ones have silver knobs.

ok rcd500 ill search ebay for one

how much do you think my dvd satnav is worth?

there is a few on ebay for over £500 with v3 map disc

the v4 disc is the latest version but only things updated are in europe so guess there aint no BIG difference.

you must visually confirm that the unit has a mp3 logo on the front panel if it can play mp3s.

I have a rcd500 that doesn't have the logo and can't play mp3s.

not really, basically giving you £300 for your unit, when its £400 + (you can buy the rcd 300 for £199  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Volkswagen-VW-RCD-300-Radio-CD-MP3-Version-RCD300_W0QQitemZ180239564380QQihZ008QQcategoryZ75325QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem  )
