iDrive screen resolution?

Topic.

Anyone know what the pixel resolution on the iDrive screen is?

I'd like to encode some of my movies to fit it closer, but I can't find the data on that one.

Thanks!

640x240

What do U use to connect to it and play movies?

The iDrive screen resolution is 640x240.
How are you playing movies on the iDrive screen?

tvandnav2go. used the DIY + ntpcrew13's personal assistance

highly recommend tvandnav2go as a solution for watching DVDs / iPhone / video iPod / iPod Classic / PS2 / whatever you can hook up to composite inputs in your car. I finished my DIY install up on Monday or Tuesday and am thoroughally enjoying watching Transformers, Casino Royale and a couple others.

I'll encode something at that resolution and let you all know what happens.

Looks like U spend a lot of time in your car, especially standing, at least I hope U dont watch movies while moving. I prefer my 40" FullHD LCD, so even if I get my car in a few months, I just drive home, jump out of the car, turn on the TV and watch the movie there

BTW, clyde, nice repost

The 7" wide screen iDrive screens are 800x480.

A definite must mod in my opinion...
Was stuck at the border on my way back home from New York to Montreal and managed to watch all of Transformers while waiting at the border.
Made the wait pass like butter...
And the sound is amazing too.
