Can anyone please advise what would happen if I put a movie DVD into the DVD Navigation port of my 2005 BMW 645ci? Will it play the movie? My email is Jeff@Levinegroups.com
Thanks,
Jeff

If you're lucky, nothing will happen and it will spit the disc back out. If not, you'll have to go to the dealer to get the movie back out. I remember people having a hard time getting copied nav DVD's out of their trunk-mounted players in some instances. A movie will definitely not play on a U.S. spec car.

I asked that exact question when I got my 6. You can actually have it so that your NAV becomes a regular DVD player. The feature is disconnected on US and Canadian cars. It's a minor connection, but BMW cannot legally do it. It should be a simple connection for someone who knows what they're doing. I unfortunately, don't know yet.

There is neither the hard- nor the software for DVD playback on the BMW Nav systems. Just another of those urban legends. :BS:
You can however order a TV tuner with aux input (where you can plug in an external DVD player) in other than the US market, but that will only work while the car is stationary. There also are methods of wiring the nav screen to accept a different signal source (DVD Player, In-Car PC etc).

Why is it, however, that when I select 'entertainment' menu on my 6er, I see the DVD option faded out? If it's not possible to play DVDs on my 6er iDrive screen, why would they have that option even visible?
