Confirmation BRZ nav can play DVDs - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Can anyone confirm that that OEM BRZ nav can play dvds? Been reading various different specs

Zgrinch · 05-18-2012, 03:23 PM

According to the manual, video playback is only available via USB.
DVD playback is not supported.

Another confirmation.

still awesome you can play dvd through usb....so you could play a dvd off your phone!!! very fantastic for road trips!

AX_FRS · 05-18-2012, 03:46 PM

The nav is loaded from an sd card, right? I'm guessing it won't read "dvds" then, just video files through the usb connection. (someone should verify that though)

Well if its only supported from USB that will also mean the lock-out feature in the unit which prevents you from watching while driving will be disabled. Im only assuming this because the unit probably wont have any sort of lock-out device anyway. Can anyone verify?

I'm sure it will have a lock out, if only to limit lawsuits. And I'm quite sure that video playback will be disabled while the car is moving as it's a distraction hazard.

On the plus side, the head unit does have the Divx logo. so Divx encoded movies should play.

Has anyone with a 2012 Impreza disabled the lockout? (if it's the same head unit)

Does the headunit say "DIVX" on it? I hate it when they put that shit on there but don't really play

Yep, it does. Sounds like it'll play divx encoded files from a flash drive.

Hope so

Does that mean we can bypass the dvd-player restriction where you can only play videos when the car is in park?

feedbag · 05-21-2012, 01:25 AM

Hopefully we can perform a lower level bypass than that..

I wish we got the JDM nav unit, it's so much nicer than what we got.

ESBjiujitsu · 05-21-2012, 08:11 AM

couldnt agree more there~!

I like the regular head unit that the BRZ gets in those European ones. Doesn't have NAV or big ass screen, but who needs that when we all prolly already have Garmins and AUX cables, right?
