so i put in a cd....

I have idrive and when I saw the scroll wheel for the tracks I looked above and I saw cd with left and right arrows next to it. No it was not the am fm cd aux line but in fact the line right under that.

When I highlighted cd and went to the left I saw dvd.

However its grayed out. I'm guessing its because I don't have a dvd in there. But I also thought that there might be an addon I don't have.

I'm not home now so I cane pop in a dvd. However, is the car equipped with a dvd player, I doubt it, but who knows?

I'm thinking it might play the dvd soundtrack or the audio to the movie.

Thanks

If you pop out the nav DVD, you can put an MP3/WAV DVD in there. Just like you can play an MP3 CD, only more files. Or at least, that's what people say. I have yet to do it, since CDs hold plenty of MP3s for me and I'd rather have the nav functioning.

thanks for the replies guys.

that would have been a nice little feature to have, then again, my navigation system in my old car could play DVDs, aftermarket, and i rarely used it. i just thought it would be a cool feature to have in a stock setup.

oh well.

every car that i have owned in the past i have tried to modify something. whether it was a stock item or an an aftermarket item i always play around with it and end up doing something i don't like or breaking something and getting mad that i tried to alter something on/in the car.

so at this point i would love to read about someone converting that to a DVD player or even see some pictures, but that is something that i don't plan on doing.

thanks again.

I'll save you the hassle of searching...
The DVD slot from the Navigation will play MP3's but not video.

thanks.

i did a search yesterday. i read some posts and saw that video with the guy that installed the tv2nav thing. pretty cool, but it looks like a lot of work for something i dont really want and i didnt think the resolution looked all that great.

basically, i was just trying to see if we had some DVD capabilities with the stock system.

no biggie for me.

thanks guys.
