BMW’s equipped with the CIC based iDrive have a feature integrated yet not enabled by default called DVD-in-motion. This self explanatory term is just what it sounds like, it allows one to play DVD’s (as well as USB video for CIC_NBT) while the vehicle is in motion. By default, this feature is disabled if the parking brake is not engaged and/or the car is going over a certain maximum speed.

• Oct 20, 2020 If your BMW has the option of playing videos via DVD and/or USB while parked, it's possible to unlock DVD in Motion (Video in Motion), allowing your passengers to watch movies while you are driving. Video in motion is a very useful upgrade if you have a long journey ahead of you or simply want to keep your passengers entertained — perfect for family road trips or when traveling with children.
• I tried both USB slots (gloves box and armrest). Then a local amateur coding guy told me that only 2014 or newer BMW cars can play videos from USB. I moved on and started looking for an alternative, and saw that I can play normal DVD movies even in motion. So I wanted to burn as many music videos as possible on DVD disc and play them.

BMW’s equipped with the CIC based iDrive have a feature integrated yet not enabled by default called DVD-in-motion. This self explanatory term is just what it sounds like, it allows one to play DVD’s (as well as USB video for CICNBT) while the vehicle is in motion.

Now who wouldn’t want to use their iDrive to entertain passengers or rowdy kids during road trips? We know we would! Unfortunately, the avenues available to unlock this ability are limited as one either has to buy an expensive unlock disc or pay a BMW coder to do it for you. These options are discussed below:

Method 1: CIC DVD unlock disc (We DO NOT provide DVD unlock disc services!)

While easy to use and efficient at what they are meant to do, iDrive DVD-in-motion unlock discs will set an individual back $150+ for use with only one vehicle and for use with unlocking only the DVD-in-motion feature. One just needs to insert the disc, then eject it when the update is finished. At SF BMW coding we feel that while this price may be justified for some if they can’t find a coder nearby, for the rest of the population there is still the better option of coding it with an experienced BMW coder.

Method 2: Coding DVD-in-motion

Coding the option to enable the DVD/USB video while driving only involves adjusting three simple values, removing the requirement for the handbrake to be engaged, and to raise the speed at which the video lockscreen is enabled. Doing this takes about 5 minutes and allows the coder to enable other desired features on ones BMW during the session.

Since San Francisco BMW coding only charges $25 to enable DVD-in-motion on CIC based iDrive units (with one additional code), we feel this is the best and most cost effective option available. If we haven’t made ourselves clear, we recommend everyone to save some money and get a BMW coder to code the video in motion feature and get other options coded at the same time. One will end up spending less than the price for one video in motion unlock disc, as well as enabling many more practical and functional features on their BMW.
