Hi.

Just got a 2004 Mini Cooper and I love it.

However, I would like to play MP3s in the car. I have been looking at the Icruze, Dice, Icelink, etc. Does someone know if text info will be on the stereo screen? I noticed today that the channel call number and song title were on from a local radio station.

Thanks

What you're seeing is RDS, this is the text that displays from FM radio. The DICE has the ability to display text, but needs a 4/2005+ (2nd Generation) radio in order to do so.

We have 2nd Generation Boost radios on the site if you are looking to do the upgrade, as well as the DICE.
