Is it possible to watch DVD or VCDs in my car?
It came with DVD Navigation... i tryed popping in a DVD just for kicks but it didnt play...
I tryed the search function and also the FAQ but couldn't find anything related...

Or you could do this. These guys are based in NY too, so they can do the install.

i have seen some converters that can let you do it on ebay cost from 200-500....... my brother installed 1 in his 06 accord v6 and he can watch movies now......
The corrcet answer is: NO, it'S impossible to watch DVD's w/o major mods, such as installing aftermarket devices.

The Accord is different. You can't compare them!

I never did compare them... dont know much on the subject or care to know because its not a mod i care for. but heres the link on ebay for the item i saw.

from the look of his feedback from a couple bmw owners 2 with 7series 3series and x5.. seems to me it isnt that hard...
seems plug and play.. i would think if his item didnt work on bmw's 1 of those people would have given - feedback looks like a flawless 100% positive to... look further into this it may work for you but be cautious because u maybe tossing your warranty down the drain if it cause any problems bigggg draw back but to each him own.. good luck anyways.
