I thought the DVD in the car is used for GPS only? There is one way if you want to play DVD/TV in your E90 M3 ... to install a separate DVD player where you can hide in your glove compartment See my avatar ... split screen watch DVD and GPS at the same time

No..the new idrive plays DVD movies as it is. i can play movies and watch it provided the car is stationary otherwise screen will be blocked out by safety warnings!

The new idrive which is hard disk based system- BMW terms it CIC- Car information Computer vs. first generation i-drive called CCC- Car communication computer.

you can refer to the BMW CIC service manual here posted on m3psot site

Is yours a 2009 E90? If so, then YES, there is a decoder to allow you to play DVD/TV on the move But you will need to wait for a while more ... give Juzz for Cars a call as they will be stocking it.

Was seraching the web for a software Hack to allow watching DVD while on the move. And I saw this....wondering is this a worthwhile investment.

thx! great find..
any intention you are going to use this to unlock? may be we can pool those interested and co-share the hardware... not sure the difference between e90s and the rest though even though the new idrive should be the same.

I think this one is the latest module to heck the LCI idrive DVD for watching while on the move. Not expensive, inclusive of UPS costs is less than S$500 (from website).

The installation looks very easy too.

I hope it works (knowing full well the WWW is full of crap promises and gadgets that gave untrue descriptions at times)......else its an expensive black box down the drain..

This just came from the UPS delivery at my door step.

In my haste to get this DVD in Motion by-pass module.....I forgot that my LCI BMW is not due to arrive in Singapore till end July. Haa Haa Haa.

The module comes with the wire quick tapping clips, so no need to solder.

P.S, Also bought the nylon material tools (blue color), to help in removing the panels from the car.

To install the 7'' LCD i believe got to do lots of modifications like relocating the aircon control etc..

From what I know, those with idrive can add interface for DVDplayer, gps and tv mobile. I just did a check with my installer today but no sure about those without the idrive. Probably u can call them up to check on this.

Another option: just launch 1 CD and take 3 minutes without hardware module.
