1- ideally i would prefer a DVD player that fits in the rear compartment next to the cd changer

2- can i have it to be controlled by the oem X5 audio controls, like a cd changer?

3- isn't it the same as the navigation dvd player?


4- do i have to have the BMW AUX kit for the tv in motion module to work?

Thanks for all the answers you can give...

1. You can mount the DVD player anywhere you like. It would actually be easier to mount it back where the CD changer is located versus where I mounted mine. I chose to put mine where I did for ease of access in changing the DVD.

2. In theory, yes. But you would need some sort of interface adaptor that intercepts the i-bus signals transmitted from the steering wheel buttons and translates it into signals that can be used by the DVD player. I'm not aware of one that exists, but that doesn't mean you can't find or build one.

3. No

4. No. You only need AUX if you want to have the DVD audio in stereo. Otherwise your sound will be mono.
