Default Playing Video

Hello,

I enabled VIM w/ OBDeleven a few days back, and have since been trying to make use of it. Unfortunately I cannot get any video to play whatsoever. I've tried multiple DVDS, two SD cards with countless video formats, a USB stick with more formats, etc. Nothing will play, even while stationary. Any ideas/tips?

Did you do the coding yourself or use the OBDEleven coding?

You can as long as you're not in motion (without coding).

How? Can you play videos off your phone or only off of an sd card/USB stick?

I don't think it's possible from your phone (?)
I have experimented with DVD & SD card. I assume USB would work but since it's separate from the integrated unit in the glove box, I'm not sure.
The manual lists the formats the system is capable of recognizing.

You can certainly play video from DVD. I'm assuming you could play them from an SD card as well, but I haven't tried that.

I enabled VIM by paying credits in the OBDeleven app, it worked (i think). I cannot get video to play whatsoever - stationary or motionary. Has anybody been able to get it to work?

I still have a few old DVD-A's lying around and I tried one in my A4. They have folders that show pics of the artists. They will switch to the next pic when stopped but not while driving. BTW, they sound great with the B&0 system.
