Default If Your CDR 24 Stops Working Will Porsche Replace It With MP3 Version???

My version of sterio will not play MP3. If the stereo had warranty issues I wonder if Porsche would warranty it by replacing it with the radio that were manufactured later in the 05 Model year that read MP3 cds???

Unlikely, but you never know. Don't take a hammer to your radio, though .

I'm not sure if any of the CDR-24's play MP3s, I only recall seeing the PCM2.1 units being capable of this.

I picked up my Cayman S today with the CDR-24. the salesman told me it was mp3 compatible but doesnt seem to play mp3's. the user manual has no reference to mp3's

has anyone else got a CDR24 working with mp3 cd's?

I think there is some confusion here with the terminology. The PCM unit will play a CD with .mp3 files in data format. The CDR-24 will only play a CD where the mp3 file has been burned in audio format (pretty much like a regular CD). This is touted as a feature only in that some CD players from the Paleolithic age can't play burned CDs.

The obvious benefit of data CDs being that you can fit a helluva lot more .mp3 files on a CD-R than audio files (80 minutes).

Are you sure? I've got a 987S 2006 with CDR-24 Bose. Does NOT play mp3's. only Audio CD's.
Can you elaborate how you're getting mp3's to play? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Riksung,
listening to most salesmen is just listening to a "yes man"....check back, he probably won't be there in 4 months....
