I asked for a better solution and like you wanted to achieve true Stereo sound. That said all the installer then choose to do was hard wire the DVD's output to the inside of the AV In socket. This ensured good picture but mono audio. This is how it currently remains.

It would appear that the one sure way of obtaining Stereo sound is to use the AUX input which then means you sacrifice the AV feed to the dash monitor. I am very doubtful whether both AV and AUX In feeds could be used simultaneously but can't say for certain? I have asked BMW for help on this matter but nothing as yet has been forthcoming!
Aux can be used in conjunction with av on an aftermarket "Blitzsafe",IIRC you cycle the clock button (or one of them) on the head unit to change to sound input.
