Video on iDrive

Does the iDrive play videos?

Can you do this from a connected iPhone?
From a USB stick?
Play YouTube Videos when parked etc??

If so what are the supported file formats?

Not from Iphone.
Yes, from external drive plugged into USB port.

Youtube videos via Miracast.

Most are supported, but you do need to code in additional codecs.
