it controls some functions because i do get MP3 capability from it.

Wouldnt that almost reconfirm binary jay's comment then? I would think that the CD player portion would be the deciding factor on whether or not the system was mp3 compatible or not.

the head unit controlling mp3 playback that's straight forward, the discs are in there so decoding done there. but the information display, i would tend to think it's about the upper unit (multi-display unit)

Between a display/HU out of an '07-'09, ML+, a new larger iPod Touch, and possible a Gen 5 Nav disc, this thread is going to cost me $2k+. :-)
