DVD on iDrive?

Can you play DVD's on the iDrive screen? What happens if you put a DVD in the slot for the CD? or the slot for the Navigation DVD? or inside the 6 disc changer?

Im not sure what would happen with the BMW, but on my MB, which has the dvd navi, I put in a dvd and it played the sound. The picture did not come up on the screen however. I asked the dealership, they said that it was odd that the car even played the dvd, because it is U.S. spec. Only euro spec versions play the dvd. I dont think it would hurt to try it.

Since April in Switzerland we can order the option 696 DVD-changer for the glove box (instead of CD-changer). If you have the backup camera installed, you have to order the tv-function (601). With these options you can watch DVD movies while the car isn't moving. There ist also the possibility to play the multichannel soundtracs (dolby-digital etc.) direct from DVDs. I ordered these options together with the ipod-usb interface (6FL) and will receive the car in June (if no further delays).
