Huh? Really.. do you have a source for this? What's the trick to get movies to work? :-)

The DVD video viewing is only available on 2009+ LCI's, on CIC hi-res displays. The 2008 LCI's won't do it without an add-on module like modmy nav. I have the modmynav module w/backup camera. The one on that ad you are looking at will only work with an interface module to the CCC display. If you try to hardwire it, it won't show correctly.

thanks for clearing that up...I forgot about the year issue. My friend has an X6 and he was able to watch DVD so I just assume BMW LCI version can watch DVD.

"All you need is a screen and video input port" and where might that be on the idrive screen - NOWHERE. So you will need an idrive interface. I like this selling style sell a camera for £20 and when people buy it you then sell them a £200 interface to get it to work on the idrive screen....nice.

+1! You have to really pay attention to eBay sellers. Glad there are forums like this to get the real deal on mods, & maintenance.
