Play movies off SD Card
Hello Guys,
I'm hoping if someone can tell me if I can play a video off of an SD Card on my 15' GL. I've been playing around and it will read the card but wont read the files. I've tried a ton of different file and video formats but no cigar. I'm hoping someone could tell me if this is possible and if so, what are the correct video and file settings. Im getting tired of switching DVDs while driving.

Note that unless you get a "video in motion" hack for your Comand unit, it only works while the vehicle is parked.

It's possible, I've done it in my '13. I don't remember the video formats (and codecs) offhand, but I used Handbrake on my computer and converted the movies to a format listed in the manual.

My car doesn't have any backseat TV, but I have unlocked my DVD by these guys https://satnavninja.com and can watch movies from both SD (not my favourite choice) and DVD.
