Default Beatsonic DVD

Does anyone know what type of dvd's can be played once the beatsonic is installed? Just standard DVD's, HD, or Blue Ray. Guessing just standard but was wondering if anyone knew for sure.

the unit doesn't expand your system capability, it enables the video playback without engaging the parking brake.

Do you play a DVD via the disk tray on the center console?

USB is only for music, it will not play video files.

There is a 28 dollar set they sell at beatsonic. I had him add it into my purchase of the module so the shipping was free
