From what im reading I may have to use navcoder is that correct?
Correct.

Quote:
I have the BMW scanner software will that work?
No (AFAIK it wont).

I also have an in-progress easy dis/inpa setup.
The DIS GT1 may do it, but using navcoder is way more easy.

Quote:
Does the mk4 have to have its rgb video feed switched,
No.

Quote:
Is the signal to the bordmonitor in PAL and we in USA use NTSC or that has nothing to do with the nav pc.
No, you may need to change this in the TV module (if you retrofit this too), but the nav unit should be OK as is.

Quote:
Are the dvd-rom nav discs reigion coded meaning it will say sorry wrong region try a uk disc.
Yes, correct.

Quote:
It looks like mk4 drives from the UK are easier to get than USA drives.
Same drive, different coding.
