Smart Radio 9 & 10 File Formats?
Will the CD drive in the radio play file formats other than mp3?

Do you mean the CD drive? With smart 10, the Aux input jack in the glovebox is activated so an iPod or such can be connected. This is the headphone out from the iPod or similar device feeding analogue sound data into the radio amplifier. MP3 has nought to do with the Aux input by then.
From the smart 10 oprating instructions booklet:
"The CD drive is able to play CDs of the types CD-DA (Digital Audio), CD-R, CD-RW and MP3.
The system might have problems with playing Audio-CDs with copy protection.
When playing copied CDs, there may be playback problems.
Use only round CDs with a diameter of 12 cm not smaller, even with a CD adapter.
The CD drive is designed to accept EN 60908 standard CDs only. Only use CDs which are up to 1.3mm thick."
All pretty much standard CD drive specs these days. It does show track menus for some commercial CD's and it will display MP3 text information. It stacks up to 6 CDs internally, so I'm not using any copied discs with paper labels... it'd be a major job to unjam if one came loose.

I updated the question to include CD drive, because that is what I was looking for.
It is helpful to know the compatibility is only with MP3. Thank you Ian.
I should be getting my Cabrio next week and I want to work on my “driving home from the dealership” soundtrack.

If you are getting the smart sound system under seat bass woofer, make sure the smart 10 has LOUDNESS turned ON for the bass to start working.
Have fun and enjoy your new smartie.

And what will you give me for such wheels and tires? I'd want you to send me the TPM's and you can have the factory's as they are. No sense in both of us changing out a set of TPMs
hi, i'm expecting to be a proud owner of a smart by the end of the summer, the first thing i am doing to it is upgrading the sound system. Do you mind telling me the specs of what you put in. size and brand of the 9 speaker?, location of each? any a…
I want to join the group that has the same size factory alloy Passion wheels and tires. I'll put the TPM's from my front wheels on a pair of mint Passion rear wheels, hopefully with low mileage factory Conti's mounted.Thanks,Mike
Good to know! What is your mileage?
That 16.9 seconds is very misleading.
I own a new March 2010 Passion Cdi with the new 54Hp engine and blimey with all that low down tourque especially in 3rd and 4th gears the car feels far quicker than 16sec to 100km.
It's a gorgeous engine which…
Actually the diesel is cheaper to maintain than a gas or petrol powered Smart because generally diesels are far more reliable than gas powered vehicles due to the very high compression needed in the diesel process.
A diesel engine will outlast a ga…
The reason they willnot build them in the Us is because they will be too costly to produce and there will not be sufficient demand in thre huge Us market.
