    Since the Nav is DVD driven, does that mean I can eject it and put a DVD in...

    That would be cool if I'm parked and waiting for someone to be able to watch a movie to stay occupied.

    I tried an MP3 DVD and it didn't work. I suspect a video DVD won't work either, since I believe there's a law that no car sold in the US can have a screen visible from the driver's seat that plays videos.

    Ah, that would make sense then. Thanks!

    Yes, you may eject it and insert a normal DVD. You can't view it, listen to music, or access data, but you can use it as a storage slot. ;)

    You never know when you might need a DVD stored away somewhere!
