playing videos on media system...

[luntley24]

hi im new to this so go easy on me , im awaiting delivery of a mk3 leon se(tech pack) in monsoon grey and iv seen in numerous places that you can get videos to play through the screen, has anybody tried this and managed it if so what format does the video have to be in and what input does it play from eg. usb, aux or sd?

any help would be appreciated,

thanks in advance.

Heya! I've only tried playing actual DVD's and they seem to work fine. Only work when standstill or when travelling under 5mph for obvious safety reasons.

Hope that's a start, cheers.

Do you have a mk3 leon now? Noticed you'd also posted a sat nav question on the mk2 forum

Happy to be corrected but why on earth would the systems in our Mk3's even have an MPEG2 decoder to watch DVD movies...

Apologies for the confusion, MK3 is my company car, MK2 is my own, typically that one has the problem. MK3 suppose to go back in Jan, leaving me with my own with the fault.
