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.
