I've just fitted a Mk4 DVD drive unit (ex BMW X5). It seems to work and the BMW 16:9 bordmonitor is displaying OK. I found a BMW disc in the unit (it ejects and accepts a disc OK) but it's not reading anything. The disc has BMW and "1993-1998 Navigation Technologies B.V. Part No. T1000-0495" and Great Britain 1999-1 on it so it's really old stuff, is it even a DVD?
Will a DVD reader (Mk4) read a CD disc from a Mk3 - I've got the original 2004 Navteq that came with my HiLine - just so I can test it's actually working or will I have to obtain a more up to date BMW DVD version first.
Just want to be sure I've not got a duff DVD drive.....and it's now started to show a BMW X5 splash screen
