What do you guys use the DVD functionality for?

zhoudaniell · 03-23-2017, 08:01 PM

the two most obvious choices are movies and music vids, but I guess I just don't ever see my self just sitting there and watching that kind of stuff. What kind of things do you all do with your DVD functionality? I assume some of you guys have it coded to stay on the entire time.

I honestly don't use it at all... I would love to get it coded for DVD while driving, would be great for the kids, but we never take drives long enough for it to be a concern...

I've only ever used it to listen to a newly purchased CD, or to rip the CD to the X3's hard drive.

It's the only optical drive in the "house" so oddly enough I've never used it, no idea if it even works - I never used the cd drive in the previous car either.

The poor salesman who tried to use the fact the car had a DVD as a sales point. My g/f turned to him and said "why on earth would you bother with a cd drive let alone DVD".

I do play movies off USB occasionally.

Insert a CD/DVD into the drive. One of the options that comes up is Import CD/DVD.
