MP3 IDG3 tags via BMW Headunit - can it be done?

[Jamie]

Hi,

Ive seen on ebay you can get replacement Apline 6 disc MP3 players, straight swap for the standard BMW 6 disc changers.

Does anyone know if the ID3 tags encoded onto discs will come through to the standard BMW headunit? If not - can it be done?

Thanks

Jamie
