Does the iDrive video display have a video input for a rear view camera for backing up?

My 2008 X5 with Premium Sound (giving it a DVD changer in the glove compartment) plays DVD video on my Nav screen if I’m in “Park”. As soon as I shift into “Drive”, it continues sound playback, but no video. The thought behind this is having the ability to still play DVD music or concerts in your vehicle while in motion. Also, the DVD video playback is great for anyone who uses “Park and Wait” at the airport while waiting for a passenger on an arriving flight.

@Clara: Not a good idea, it's enough that we have people texting, shaving and eating while driving, watching movies would be the icing on the cake.

It’s too bad about safety, there’s a lot of good and/or ironic movies you could watch while driving.
