DVD Player in-dash?

Anyone know if the X1 will have a DVD player? I read something about that somewhere on another forum about being able to play DVDs in the front screen.

I know Audi's can do it and I'm considering the X1 against a Q3.

Agree with Blue Bottle. I have the Pro-Nav so can't speak about the business Nav but I have no problems playing DVDs using this system.

Awesome. Do I need to get a specific option/package when I'm ordering the X1?

For example, is the Technology Package needed for this?

What about the Harmon Kardon system or BMW Apps?

Thanks.

Sorry mate, can't help with that one. In Australia, I had to custom order all my options - we had only one package for X-line and that was about it. My car was a la carte options.

Yes, you must get the Technology package as it includes the iDrive system (which would be used to view the DVD while the vehicle is parked).

On my e9x I was able to code my car to allow the dvd to play while moving. Since the x1 is using more or less the same idrive I would imagine that it could do the same now or in near future as more people start tinkering with it.
