Does iDrive read any video formats from USB?
I would like to listen music videos (for example mp4) from pendrive? Is it possible?

No

But if you can play a normal DVD

You can buy the Media adapter for your smartphone, with this you can watch music videos in MP4-format as I understand it. However I am not sure if you also need the Nav Business or Professional screen. I do not think it is possible otherwise to watch music videos.

Pytałem się o to na bmw-klub (http://www.bmw-klub.pl/forum/viewtop...73470&start=15). Jak na razie nie bardzo... Z resztą ja próbowałem odtworzyć mov i avi i nic z tego...

You also need option 6NF extended connectivity for smartphones

I have prof navi. iDrive sees mp4 files but does't read (maybe codec is wrong), while mov, mpeg, avi does't see.
I don't like snap-in adapter, pendrive is more convenient.

Without the media adapter I think you are stuck with just listening to MP3:s etc, no videos...

OK, thanks, dvds+dvd free is the only way.

Is the 6NF retrofitable for vehicles with a build date pre sept 2010? Anyone know?

Would love to be able to play vids from my iPhone.

You may want to look up other posts on this topic, apparently some members with the option factory-installed aren't really happy with the way video is displayed on the screen. In theory (and on brochures!) it sounds like a great option and one I'd love to have personally but if execution is anything below perfect then it may just be another 'meh' as far as I am concerned, and totally not worth obsessing about.

Have to tried changing your container to m4v? This might make them not only visible but able to play
