We are hoping on an update to have the DVD Playback. Nothing is sure yet so it may never come.

For the TV. This is a factory option. Retrofit afterwards is possible but very expensive.

If you do a search on DVD or TV you will find a load of posts on the subject.

Welcome BTW!

cjindustry, welcome to the forum. It'll help if you add your location (at least your country) to your profile so some of these country specific questions can be answered as accurately as possible.

Have fun!

Check out this thread. It may not give you everything you're looking for but it came up with a simple search of "navwithtv."

Welcome aboard, cjindustry!

I think the TV option is not available in the US, so you have to check the aftermarket.
DVD will come... we just don't know when. BMW is working on it, but they keep pushing the release back.

As said before, there are lot of threads regarding TV and DVD. Just do a search and you will find lots of infos on this topic.
