Ralph,
DVD on the screen with the stock BMW DVD player is not an option. I have been inside the guts of the system, and it just cannot be done because of the outputs of the DVD player, and the input plug on the LCD screen. I did a work around on this that is found in the modfications part of the main fourm, and it works good. If you need more help let me know.

Ralph, I don't understand the professional business screen question. However, if you waqnt to watch DVD's o nthe main idrive screen, you have to install a second on board DVD player, and then install a coupling that goes between the LCD screen and the BMW factory wireharness. You plug the video ouput of the second DVD player into the coupling, and then set the FM radio to the 88.1 freq, and you have it. I posted this set up here E60 Forums > BMW 5 Series (E60/E61) > Parts, Accessories and Mods, under DVD in DER BMW. Take a look, and let me know if you need more help.

The "coupling" is the interface produced by the company NAV TV. It snaps into the factory LCD, and then the factory wires snap into the back of the NAV TV unit. You take the video feed off the second DVD player, and plug it into the NAV TV unit. Then, using the supplied NAV-TV remote, you select AUX 1 on the remote, and the OEM LCD screen displays the video feed from the second DVD player.
