The DVD - Is it region locked? (if so, is it possible to unlock it)
And the playback - can you play a DVD when the car is in motion? Or does it have to be still ? (can this also be fixed?)

I notice in the latest US ordering guide it mentions "697 DVD Area coding, North America" - now whether this refers to navigation DVD, I don't know.

To date it has not been possible to play DVD Video/Audio in the DVD drive.

I'll repeat. To date it has not been possible to play DVD video in an e60 with a standard option.

I have read of no such feature being introduced.

I'm talking anbout the new feature - 601

It's a TV pack that comes with a dvd drive and lets you watch TV or play DVDs on an 8.8" display.

601 is not in the US MY2008 Ordering Guide...

Of course it may be different in different markets.

Care to share? Which part of Europe? It's quite a diverse place.

"697 DVD Area coding, North America" must DEFINITRELY refer to the Nav Disc then since no 601 in US.

Ukraine.


The .pdf manual is in Russian, so I doubt you'd understand anything if I showed it to you.

Pochymu vy tak dumayt'ye?

Or in Ukrainian: Choho vy tak dumayte?....

I've been to Ukraine several times BTW.

So remove the doubt...
