is it true that the 06s are able to play DVDs on the Nav screen? i know the new GS can and all you have to do is disconnect the wire attached to the ebrake and ground it to be able to play DVDs while driving....... is this the same as the e60? only thing holding me back from purchasing 1!

Sorry, I have seen the topic discussed, but can't remember the outcome. It is possible that you can view DVD's while parked, but definitely not while driving. Try searching on DVD, but the search function, although decent, it not excellent IMO.

If this is the only feature holding you back from buying this car vs the GS430 then I think you are missing the point. I would buy a GS430 if I were you. Save yourself 15k and you can watch all the movies you want.

Easy way to do this is to buy Infiniti M-Series (maybe others). It has a nice DVD slot just under the driver's right elbow. As long as the car is parked, in drive, probably with the engine shut down, you can watch a DVD.
