Whats a DVD audio?
I put in a normal CD into the DVD drive and that worked fine. Seemed to play the music on it but I lost my navi function.
cheers

DVD Audio is capable of higher sampling rates which in theory is higher quality. They can also store surround sound audio streams. Typically special decoders are needed which BMW didn't include.
