Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
5.1. Overview
It is possible to watch video from Digital Versatile Disc DVD on the Central Information Display CID in the F10. The picture in the CID is deactivated and replaced with an information text for safety reasons when the vehicle is in motion. If the car is fitted with a rear-seat entertainment system, rear-seat passengers can watch videos while the car is on the move.
The following optional extras are offered:
- DVD changer for 6 DVDs (option 696)
- Rear seat entertainment (optional extra 6FG)
The systems can be used for other purposes besides watching films, for example viewing interactive media such as tour guides, databases, catalogues, and so on. In conjunction with the Top HiFi amplifier (rear-seat entertainment professional), multichannel audio formats are supported.
The video module of the F10 does not incorporate a video switch. This continues to be a separate component.
