Does anyone know if is possible to activate USB video play on HU_ENTRY ? I already tried to FDL code, but idrive still shows "empty list" under video pane...

I have never heared or read that this is possible with HU_ENTRY.

+1 I don't think it's possible.

Since my HU_ENTRY seems to be an NBT without nav (My FA shows 6NS), and have functions like Siri activation, voice comanda and Bluetooth streaming, I thought it would be possible to activate video on USB...

does anyone knows the function

Ahhh you have the HU_ENTRYNAV, that's not quite the same as HU_ENTRY. Look on the coding cheat sheet posting, there are some enable video playback via usb functions

E.g.

HU_NBT
API_USB_VIDEO = AKTIV

Sorry you are correct, can you tell me the diference between these two ?
I already did code FDL as described, but somehow the car cannot list video files from the USB. It shows "empty list". I tried also some different files (mp4, mov, avi) and another USB pen drive without any luck.

HU_ENTRY is the headunit if you didn’t spec NAV (Business or ProNav), it cannot be coded for navigation and comes with the 6.5” matt screen.
HU_ENTRYNAV is the headunit that replaced the CHAMP2 (Business Nav), it is capable of Nav but requires a FSC code and comes with the 6.5” shiny clear screen.
As most BMW's now come with Business Nav as standard on all cars ... well they are in the UK. I'm guessing HU_ENTRY is no longer sold.

I’ve got the ProNav but honestly, I’ve never used the USB/DVD feature, I've never had the need to watch anything whilst in the car. I've just searched on google and most posts say video is not possible with the HU_ENTRY or HU_ENTRYNAV.

Wow so it is possible to activate Nav on my HU_ENTRYNAV ? I will try to find how to do this !!
Thanks a lot for your help. I think video on USB is not possible at all... but at least you gave me another function to try !!

If you don't have the nav then to you will need to get an FSC code to activate it. However since there is no official retrofit upgrade from the BMW network you might struggle.

I'm not that familiar with the HU_ENTRYNAV, so I don't want to tell you pack of lies. Anyone else comment?
