if you are talking about the factory changer, there is no way you can get it to play mp3 (not that i know of)

you can always get ipod integration so you can play songs off ipod

That is one thing I wish my 06 GS430 did. Play mp3 discs.
I heard that getting a CD changer from a 07-up GS will work , but might not display the titles.

If you are talking about getting your MP3 player to connect into the car's audio, there are a number of hardwire options for integrating a player and plenty of opinions on which is the best route to go. You can look through the FAQs for both how it's done and what folks are using.

If you want something that doesn't involve pulling the dash apart, is quick but albeit cheesy works just fine: plug a cassette adapter in and plug your player in to that. The adapters are all over the map on quality and I've tried the Phillips and Sony units and far and away the Sony is better in build and sound quality. This was something I did for a car before I got the 430 and I figured what the heck, I had it already so why not use it while I'm busy with other sh_t... It sounds great btw.

I'm still planning on doing a cleaner hardwire unit one day (probably the Vais? unit), but for $15 or so the cassette adapter is a cheap alternative I can just toss when I go the cleaner install route...
