Now it's not working.
First wouldn't see the folder, then it saw the vids, but won't play.

Wondering: does it need time to fully index all the vids?
should the drive be in FAT32? right now its NTFS.

I had the same issue, the car created a junk folder of sorts for whatever reason. you have to go into media in idrive and relocate the folder with the videos.

Or just format the drive and reload the videos and that will fix it too

Thanks for the reply.
I went back and tried again, and now everything is working.
Maybe it ended up relocating.
Do you get this weird thing with two identical folders?
I get that sometimes even with music folders (mp3).

Yeah, that is what I think the "junk" folder is. But all the names of the music and videos are all changed to random letters

I just keep the USB or Memory Card reader plugged in permanently in the Glovebox USB & Charge the phone using the armrest USB.

With my last 335 (2013), i wasn't able to see album art when i plugged into the glovebox USB.
Hopefully they changed for 2015.
Great idea though. I'm going to try today and see if it works!

[rastaman777]

wait ! where is the usb port in the glove box?
I remember previous posts people having problems finding it.
I looked up and down and couldn't find the glove box usb port?
Anyone with pics to help out?
2015 335i xdrive.
Thanks!

It is an extra option. I do not have it in my 2015 335 either.

I am sure there are others. This one is basic and free. That's always a good combination

Best regards

Check out my build thread for more details on what needs to be done. Long story short...if you have the phone cradle in your center arm rest, you can remove that, then use the USB that was reserved for that and relocate it to the glove box. Even if you dont have the phone cradle option, the head unit has 2 USB ports available on the back to plug into. One is used by the center arm rest USB. Pretty painless and easy mod that cost less than $100. So now I leave the center arm rest USB free. I am very very happy with this mod.

And yes I am getting full resolution. That being said, I am only watching videos in 720p. I have not tried full 1080 yet but I will later.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, can you explain better this mod?

Hi,
an interesting link about the displays:

Was just experiencing this on a f15 with NBT. If you disable spilt screen and wait a few seconds it automatically goes to full screen. I had a movie on a flash drive.

I am not sure if its my dvd-r disks that I am using or the dvd burner itself, or the dvd software that I am using.

Can I play dvds from a memory card? Or is it only through the dvd drive.

If its only through the dvd drive than what software is everyone using to burn the disks. All my video files are .mp4

If it can be done through the usb, than what flash drive is everyone using. I feel like if i put a flash drive in the usb and close the arm wrest it will break.

Also, if it can be done through the usb than another problem is how do I connect my phone via usb for music?

I do not want to keep unplugging something to plug something else in. Can the usb be split?

Apologize in advance if that sounded confusing.

Thanks


Solution UPDATE!!

If this was bothering anyone as much as me, here is the solution:

Download VidCoder here:
http://www.videohelp.com/software/VidCoder

In order for videos to be full screen they have to be in 1280x480 resolution.

(Pictures with what options to change included)

Add video, Change settings, Hit save, Hit encode

Copy to USB and enjoy
