Hi everyone,
I am thinking about adding a dvd player to my 2006 525i and I need advices on how to do that and I want to watch movies with the I-drive monitor too. I do NOT have dvd/NAV as a option, thats why I am adding a mounting dvd player to my glove compartment or some place convinience. Thanks fro any advice.

Have you already installed your player? Do you like it? Where can it be found?

Thanks,

Luiz
