What is the Optional Audio Package?

You either have the HiFi system or the Standard System. Both use the same radio/cd head unit so you should have not problem playing MP3 cd's. If i remember correctly there is a limit on the kbps rating of 256kbps but anything that or below should play wiht out problem.

On a side note, if you got the Nav system, you can pull the map data DVD and use a MP3 DVD. You won't be able to use the nav functions, but it'll give you a much larger selection.

i have a 09 Clubman with hifi upgrade. I tried it with mp3 cd. It can't play with error disc. Anyone know why is this?

I burned the cd with nero, and the song title was in chinese charactor. I never thought it will be a problem. Most of after market head units have no problem. Is this the problem why my Clubman does play mp3 file cd??

Plz help~
