Early CIC Idrive & DVD playback

ringy · 01-25-2012, 03:37 AM

My 335i was registered in oct 08 and has the cic Idrive, perhaps one of the first to have fitted (58 plate)... My question is does anyone know if it\'s possible to upgrade it to play dvd\'s as this functionality didn\'t come in until 2009?

I have tried a dvd in it and all that happened was that it loaded the title screen but I couldn\'t select any menus... Any ideas?

Thanks
Ross

I tried to play a DVD in my oct 2008 car with CIC when I first bought it and it worked fine.

Maybe it is a coding issue?

Thanks for this. Just to double check I've tried another DVD and it works. It must have been an issue with the first DVD I tried
