Could you attach a picture of the navigation unit

That's a CIC NAV which will play DVDs. You sure the DVD you tried was a region 4 DVD? I wonder if the CIC DVD region coding is wrong. Mine seems to default code to All Other Regions when it should be set to 4. Oh and yes you do have a hard drive. To upload music to it you need to insert a USB stick into the port in your glove box.

I put a USB in the glove box and it didn't do anything either , just charges phone it doesn't come up with a menu to store or does a cd when u put it in it doesn't give you to choice to rip it

According to the 2009 E90 brochure (international), cars with Business Nav have a CD drive and integrated data storage for maps only (no hard disk for audio). See attached pic.

Oh so it doesn't then thats a shame thanks for that info it's a bit sad , I suppose the USB in glove box is just a spare then, wonder y says dvd region 4 must be for map disk update only

I put music on a memory stick and plug it in, idrive recognizes the songs under "aux" "usb" input

The USB port in the glove box is for updating the CIC Business maps (aka. MOTION).

The following thread applies to the F30 model with Business Nav, but it seems they also have option "S700A, AREA-CODE 4, Area-Code 4 for DVD" but without a physical DVD Player:

Confused - CD versus DVD
