OEM Head Unit mp3 cd compatability

[Slimjimi]

Hey Everybody,

I'm curious as to whether or not the oem head unit in a 2006 Jeep Liberty plays mp3 cds (data cds, rather than just audio cds). I'd like to burn an mp3 cd for my friend's liberty (yeah, the old "mixed tape" move). Anyway, I know her head unit looks like this:

And the website to buy this oem replacement says it's mp3 cd capable, but I'd just like to know first hand if it is.

Thanks a lot all!

If it has the text "MP3" to the left of the CD slot like the one pictured does, it supports mp3 cds. If no MP3 text, probably not.

Right, Right. She is out of town, and I was just wondering if any of you Liberty owners could vouch for mp3 cd capability from first hand experience. Thanks though!

Mine doesn't, but I know it is a factory option - if you have a VIN I guess you could potentially get a build sheet and find out from here: http://www.compnine.com/vid.php

That's it. Code RAH on it, mp3 CD capable.

$170 on fleabay. not sure if I want that much, since I just forked over for the 6disc a little while ago.

if you want MP3 playback with the OEM radio i would look for a REV headunit from a 2004-2007 town and country mini van or a 05 - 08 pacifica but if you get it from the pacifica you are going to have to do some triming here is my build that i am working

Just get the RAH for the Liberty, also fits the 02-05 Ram, I have this HU in both our vehicles. No trimming required.

Does the 6 CD RBQ play MP3?

no

Not mp3 compatible Good thing its a six disc changer. It's insane that it takes 6 cd's worth of audio cd's to cover 1 cd of mp3 files.
