I don't know what I did or what settings I used but I burned them from within ITunes to a cd and they play with no problem.

Suggestion
Is it possible for me to get mp3 support using the cd-changer input or some other solution (that does not involve major changes - I want to keep my car as close to stock as possible.).
Leading evidence: 'Use but i burned them' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace i want' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
If you use the Itunes feature to output your ITunes files to a CD they will play on the in dash player and the 6 disc cd changer.

Suggestion
Personally I think you lose a noticable amount of sound quality when you use MP3s.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I just have the stock stereo that comes with the 07 CS. Is it possible for me to get mp3 support using the cd-changer input or some other solution (that does not involve major changes - I want to keep my car as close to stock as possible.).
Thanks!
Not exactly sure what you're asking.
If you mean a CD burned with iTunes AAC files as a DATA disc, then no. There is no car CD player out there that will do that as iTunes music is encrypted.
If you mean a CD burned with iTunes AAC files as CD AUDIO, then yes, both PCM and non-PCM systems will play it.
...Not really true. Music purchased from the iTunes store is encrypted... Music simply encoded as AAC is not. However, I don't know of any car player out there that plays AAC files.
iTunes can burn MP3 discs though if your music is originally in MP3 format (as opposed to AAC). This rules out music purchased from the store.
I think the question being asked, is simply if the non-PCM player plays MP3 CDs.
So what is the answer to the question? I am taking delivery of my Cayman within the next week and I too would like to know if the non-PCM Bose system will play an MP3 disc. Not anything that is encrypted... just plain MP3's.
I hope so!

I agree that it's shameful considering the price of the CS or any Porsche for that matter... MP3 compatability and sattelite radio should be standard... As high-tech as Porsche makes their vehicles, they sure are behind the times with the modern ammenities...
Interpol is correct. If you use the Itunes feature to output your ITunes files to a CD they will play on the in dash player and the 6 disc cd changer. I don't know what I did or what settings I used but I burned them from within ITunes to a cd and they play with no problem. That being said the highest quality sound I get is from regular cds. Personally I think you lose a noticable amount of sound quality when you use MP3s. That's been my experience in the car system and home stereo I have used to play MP3s. They seem fine with headphones but not over a stereo.
If you have iTunes and play AAC files I would presume that you own an iPod. An easy solution to take your mp3s with you (whether AAC or Mp3) is to hook up your iPod to the system. I will be doing that myself. I have looked all over and found this to be the best one out there -

Just check it out. Instead of spending pot load of money on some other after market stuff this would be a great one time investment! Hope I helped to some degree!
Don't think it needs the CD Changer in place. I emailed the Denison support and asked them detailed infos about it and they mentiond nothing about a Cd Changer presence. Plus if you look at the website you can see the Fibre Optic Cable has two inputs for the Cd Changer and the Head Unit. So I guess you can work without a Cd Changer.
