F10 F10/11 coding video from USB like mp4, avi and others

Hi folks

Did anyone of you manage (either to to code or stock) watching video files from USB or iPod with the "old" CIC navigation?

I can chose mp4 files from my USB stick, but not avi, mkv or others. When I chose a mp4 file, I can hear the sound, but the picture is not visible. DVD works great, but I am tired to burn all the time...

I have coded the following:

HU_CICHB_3003_CDMM_USB_VIDEO to both

HU_CICHB_3000_CDMM_VIDEO to aktiv

Thanks for your feedback
Tom

For CIC you can not play video from 6FL USB Port as there is no Video connection from it to the Head Unit.

Thanks Shawn.

I assume it is also not possible to use an iPod Classic to stream videos, right?

No, not possible either.

how about the AV in and usb from the MINI

you can play over your Ipod or Iphone Movies..

The AV in is directly connected to the CIC Monitor, or in one of the Av in in the CIC (there are 3)

i have to mention that it works in a e60, with cic and Combox Telematics

Maybe it will work the same way in the newer ones

Sure, you could either retrofit 6NF and 6NR the OEM way with FBAS video connection from 6NF Base Plate to CIC, or you could replace the 6FL USB Aux-In connector with the USB AV-In connector from the Mini Cooper, and run FBAS Video connection from 6FL to CIC.

Not that I know of, so in your case you would need both a Combox and Connected Drive retrofits.

I went to the dealer yesterday to test exactly that with a test cable from the dealer. Result: Same as with USB, just audio, no video. I've tested with an iPod Classic 80GB and MP4 files on it, which are visible on the small iPod display. Did I get you right, with the nr5 thing is should work?

How did you test it? I doubt that you Connected the Av in to the Monitor or CIC. What have you think that would happen without the right connection?

Edit: how did you connect you Ipod with your car?

Why dont you just buy a Snap in Media along with the GroundPlate and make it just the way it should be?!

Btw. Do you got a Combox?

Hi,

It is possible for me to have this feature by coding? I don't know what is CIC. My car is BMW F02 750iL 2011. I have full entertainment feature.

Sorry, but no. You have CIC iDrive system, and for this you need the new NBT iDrive system.

some interesting side note, it turns out you dont need the 6NR FSC to have video playback functionality, just run the 2 wires from your base plate/mini usb module to the head unit and add 6NR into your VO and code HU_CIC. the APPs doesnt show on idrive due to lack of the FSC code but the video playback works.

That's great. Do the videos coming from your iPhone appear horizontally stretched on the iDrive display? I discovered that setting TV Out on the iPhone to Widescreen will remove the stretching but it needs to be done every time the car starts up. Do you know whether this can be fixed through coding?
