Quick Answer
BMW Video in Motion (VIM) coding allows video playback on the iDrive screen while the vehicle is moving. The coding change modifies the head unit display restriction parameter. On NBT Evo, VIM enables the built-in video player. On iDrive 7, VIM enables full CarPlay screen mirroring including YouTube and Netflix via the iPhone. Remote ENET service, 20 minutes.
BMW Video in Motion (VIM) coding unlocks video playback on your iDrive screen while the car is moving. Watch USB, DVD, or streaming content for passengers without speed restrictions. Remote coding via ENET, 10 minutes. All F and G Series with NBT, NBT Evo, or MGU. $79 USD at M-TRI UPGRADE.
