I vaguely recall someone figured out how to do that some time ago - I think you'll have to search to find it. Although it may work differently in Italy than here in the US.

Good thread on it here...
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...pgrade-145656/

F-Type head unit is the same and the 'adapter' is plug-and-play. No wire cutting/splicing.

Here is a video of getting to the back of the head unit from the NAV-TV install...

I think NAV-TV's unit gives the same functionality with the additional video-in ports. Not 100% sure though.

Why anyone would actually want to do this in a 2-seat sports car is beyond logic to me. IMHO your passenger should be interacting with the driver rather than watching some pointless soap opera, sports event and/or adult entertainment. Being in close proximity to the screen, the driver could obviously also become distracted by such video. Such an occurrence even for a brief moment may well be enough to endanger the occupants.

I agree entirely, ndabunka. However, I recall reading that euro-spec versions have an infotainment screen where motion video is only visible to the passenger. I thought OP was in Italy.

Also, many live concert DVD's have rich DTS surround sound that could be enjoyed on the Meridian stereo. However, this is certainly not a justification for distracted driving.

I also noticed that he was in Italy which was why I retracted the legal cautions from my post but I don't think there is any way for the Jag screen to show the DVD content solely to the passenger. At least there was not in my prior vehicles. I toyed with enabling the "Euro" mode on my prior 7-series but it already had the rear seat entertainment system which was AWESOME when playing DVDs as it was already full surround sound and that was a 2006 model year vehicle. While it was awesome in that huge cabin with the ability to re-create spatial audio, the cabin in the Jag is simply to small IMHO for that same capability but I guess we could test it out by sitting in it parked and playing a DVD (which I have yet to attempt).
