Finally made the purchase of the idrive multimedia adaptor that will allow to play video on the idrive screen. I been considering one for a while and then noticed the website that I found was also selling on eBay with a best off. GBP 150.00 is their regular price and best offer was GBP 125.00, so not too bad.

What I don't get is this...

"Watch any video source on your original factory fitted screen"

So what kind of video source are they talking about? Can I play video from the iPod? Where are the RCA inputs?

Video source would come from a iPod, USB stick, or if you want you can even plug in a DVD player... there is a setup also for backup camera if you don't have one and want to add.
