I've noticed something peculiar about this issue. For anyones information, I HAVE tried to stick a DVD in the navi AND cd drives. It didn't get stuck in there, but it also didnt play.

What is interesting is that if you put an audio cd in the cd drive, theres an option on idrive that allows you to switch from CD to DVD. however, the DVD option is grey, so you can highlight it but cannot select it. Even when my navi DVD is in the drive, the DVD option still cannot be selected. If the navi DVD drive was never meant to allow DVDs to be played, why is this option even in the iDrive screen? Another interesting thing is in the manual. It clearly states how to clean DVDs before use and to not use copied DVDs as they may damage the system. I know this could easily pertain to dirty/pirated navi DVDs, but it is still VERY PECULIAR. Also, how many times are people gonna update their Navi DVDs? Im thinking, not very often, so im wondering why they make the drive for it so accessible. Im pretty sure there is a way to play DVDs on that damn screen and im gonna find out how. Im gonna make a trip to a few car audio specialists and see what they can find out.
