IS 350

Can the IS nav play DVD music or movie?

If the navigation is equipped with the Mark Levinson sound system, yes.
If it doesn't have the Mark Levinson sound system, no.

darn, i shoulda waited for the ML... oh well.

When he says DVD video, does that mean like blockbuster movies not just like music dvd video? I thought most nav's prevented you from doing such thing as watching a movie while driving is a big no no.

IS 250 FAN

if you get the ML/Navi package you can watch dvds on the navi screen when the car is in park with the parking break up.

the lndr

they are correct It will not work with the parking break on like my old rx330. it will not play dvd music (concerts) ect either

that's suck, now i really want to think about getting a aftermarket Nav or stick with the OEM one

btw, if it doesn't play dvd movie or mp3 dvd, why is it call DVD Navigation System?

All of the navigation info is on a single DVD, as opposed to some older systems that made you switch out cds if you drive to a different region.

Because the Navigation disc utilizes a DVD disc to retrieve the map information from instead of an internal hard drive. This way you can update your Nav maps by simply swapping out the DVD. And no the DVD drive for the NAVI does not read DVD Video/Audio discs.

kensteele

dvd refers to maximum 4.7gb of data on a single-layer disc; has nothing to do with the actual contents on the disc.

IS 350

is there any way I can add an external DVD player and use the Nav to play DVD music / movie?

flipside909

Not at this time. no.
