My salesman said that it is possible to play a DVD in idrive when the car is parked?????? I tried it but nothing happened. When I go into where you choose for a CD to play there is a DVD option but it just says "not supported". Any idea if my salesman was right? I don't really see myself watching too many movies in my car but, I was just curious.

You CANNOT play dvd movies in North American cars without adding extra hardware to allow to do so. If you are not in NA, yes you can play dvds.

I am outside NA , but never heard that DVD can be played on dashboard DVD slot? :think: :think: :think:

I could be wrong, as far as 6/7 series go, europe and other countries can play dvds :) I assumed its the same for e60s

My salesman told me too that they can be played while in park...in Europe. Whats the point of watching a movie while in park? It would be cool for it to play while driving down the hwy on trips.....for the passenger of course. :lol:
I'm sure there are ways to get it to work in the U.S.

The new component called the C.I.C. has this capability. The previous C.C.C. .........I can't see see see movie.
Read about the basics on the C.I.C. here -----> http://www.bmwtechandcompany.com/BMW_Technology.html

You gotta love car salesmen! :lol: :lol:

bmw_tech to the rescue ;)

My e60 has the option "DVD preparation" All the wiring is done, all i need to do is get some lcds to play the movie...only for the back seats tho. The front Display doesnt play em
