DVD player wont work

bobbynoway · 06-18-2009, 10:09 PM

Guys this is a minor problem for me but it is a problem regardless.
The DVD function doesnt work for me. I have the latest idrive and it does work flawless previously. Just today I would put in a genuine dvd movie and it wont play. The screen will show the dvd menu but then switches to playing music on the hard drive. Repeated attempts still wont work.
Anybody else have similiar problems?
I dont want to take a day of work just for BMW to have a look at it since to me its more of an annoyance.

Just a shot in the dark but is the car in park or the parking brake up? Unless you have done the in-motion hack it will not work otherwise.

Yeah the car is in park with handbrake up.
I have tried all different types of combinations e.g. car in drive with hand brake up etc and no dice.
Could be a faulty dvd unit?

Sounds like a trip to the dealer for you.
