There's no easy way of making this work (without spending lots of money)
It's a pity isn't it... it wouldn't have cost much to add a DVD decoder to allow you to watch movies when the car is stationary at least.

And then, at least the ones I've seen, can't even show the pictures in the correct aspect ratio.
It's truly a limited market.

... Page 38 (where they describe the USB interface)
The top of the iDrive Entertainment menu has an item called 'DVD'. Was this always there or is it something new?
See screenshot...
