    If you have the JBL system, it does. It's great- it's like having a 60-disc changer. Even though I listen to my iPod in my Prius, I still keep discs with MP3s on them in the car.

    Does that work the same in the 2005 model? I've got a '05 with a 6-disc changer and the JBL logo on the thing.

    I have an 07 Touring that came with Package 2 plus a CD changer - the changer that Toyota lists as an option for $589 MSRP.

    So I have the non-JBL 6-speaker system plus a 6-CD changer.

    Would this be the same changer that comes with the JBL system? Can it play MP3s?

    It didn't work with one MP3 disc I tried, but that might have been a bad one...

    You can't get the Touring with a non-JBL 6-disc changer. Unless you have an external 6-disc changer, so you have a single CD in the front and the 6-disc changer elsewhere. If that's the case then no, you don't have MP3 playback.

    It's an external CD changer in the "drawer" under the regular stereo. And you're right, no MP3 playback after trying a few.

    My main CD player plays MP3 discs of course, so that's good enough for me. Thanks.

    Does this mean I can't install a DICE unit along with this external CD changer?

    I'll probably take it out if that's the case...

    You'd have to use the DICE kit in SAT mode, so just as long as you don't plan on adding XM or Sirius, you can keep the CD changer and use a DICE.

    Cool! That's perfect for me since I have no interest in sat radio.

    Thanks.
