'05 Expedition Audiophile MP3 Capability

I just purchased an '05 EB Expedition. Upon reading the owner's manual, it appeared that my 6 CD Audiophile system was MP3 capable. But an MP3 disc would not play in the Audiophile system. After talking with the dealer and re-reading my manual I was disappointed to learn that my system does not play MP3's. The dealer told me that the '05 Expeditions are not MP3 capable. But the owner's manual states "If Equiped". There are also controls on the system to page through MP3 folders.

Does anyone know if a MP3 capable system is available with the '05 EB Expedition 6 CD Audiophile system (with rear DVD Entertainment System)?

The dealer also told me that the Explorers are all MP3 capable. He told me that he would put system in my Expediton from an Explorer, but doesn't know if it would work with the rear DVD Entertainment System. Does any one know if this is possible? I figured that he was just blowing smoke on that one. Why would a dealer do this when he didn't have to?

Also, is the rear DVD entertainment system feeding into the 6 CD Audiophile system through the AUX input? If so, then I couldn't plug a stand alone MP3 player into the system. I am guessing that using the AUX would yield better sound than using a player through the radio -- broadcasting a signal to an unsued radio frequency.

Am I stuck with the factory installed 6 CD Audiophile system? Or can I upgrade to an Audiophile MP3 capable system if available? I don't know if an aftermarket system will work with the rear entertainment system. I would also lose a few other options on the system by going to an aftermarket system.

Thanks for any info that can be passed along.
