I have booked my car to be fitted 7" screens and dvd player.
The guy asked me if i had a tv tuner so he could connect the idrive to the dvd player. I said no so he said that its not possible.
But im sure that you dont need a tv tuner to connect a dvd player to the idrive screen. Could someone back me up on this?

Got the car and everything is installed. It looks awesome.
I take some pics with a digital camera. I took some with my phone but they are not very clear. Hopefully i post some over the weekend.

E60525d,
I have the sport seat on my 545i and was told by the local installer that the largest screen that can fit "nicely" is 6" to 6.5" can you post some pics of your 7" LCDs?
