My new to me 1M is fully loaded, something that seems loathed around here

Can I play music through the bluetooth? Is it possible to use the navigation to play video content? Do people use the USB and audio port to charge their phones and play music?

Anything you want to teach me now, would be awesome! Per the dealer, the software is updated and all maintenance is updated due to the car being a CPO.

Thank you for any help you can provide!!!

Congrats, truly happy for you. I am the one guy that is not a fan of loaded 1Ms and Ayao is right there are very few of us wackos. So while you were asking about playing videos on your NAV screen, hopefully not while driving! I'll share one important suggestion about the 1M.

1. Don't turn traction control all the way off until you have gotten used to it. There is a little bit of lag and it can deceive you into more throttle and wheel spin can be gnarly. The car will go sideways in a hurry.

MDM mode is pretty good so I wouldn't go naked unless you are in a big parking lot. Also, take it easy in the rain. Again, the car will go sideways pretty easily.

Finally, keep your side windows clean in case you ignore my suggestion so you can see where you are going!

Congrats again, the 1M is a really special car.
