No, the stock DVD rom will NOT play DVDs. Just tell your friends to buy you an aftermarket dvd player then!

Re: Upgrading dvd rom to play dvd movies?

I saw a site that had instructions on how to do it, as well as the electrical parts and materials required. But I can't find it now. (There may be a link to it on this forum somewhere, but I couldn't find that either.)

I don't have the nav system, but looked at the instructions briefly a while back. It was NOT easy, and required ALOT of modification and parts. Seemed like you would just be using the nav system as a display screen and still have to link into it from a seperately installed DVD player.

Bottom line: looked like it would be FAR easier just to replace the existing system with a new one that plays DVDs.

Ultimately, this is why I opted to skip the Nav option.
