When it's inserted the screen requests 'to wait' and after about 30 sec changes to 'No CD/DVD, insert CD/DVD disc'
Clearly your discs should now clear up any mystery before I go spending more dosh on a BMW TV/hybrid module (or getting a refund on the drive). The widescreen is fitted and the 'old' 4:3 screen fonts/format have changed plus I've got the X5 splashscreen which I guess is embedded in the Mk4 drive firmware.
I'll PM you - if you are free/around over this weekend/early in the week maybe I could drop over
Hi John

Are you now getting a proper 16:9 display or is it a stretched 4:3?

PM me by all means to arrange a time and I can pop round to yours when it's convenient.

Was off to Capesthorne hall today but the weather this morning put the stop to that though I might go tomorrow, other than that I'm free most of next week.

Jim
