At last I made it, activate without any aftermarket add-on's, without cutting wiring, using just dealers level software, the Video In Motion.

Here is the photos for complete job confirmation:


I think this solution will perfectly running on all IAM and InControl Systems, so all current and future JLR vehicle could has the Video In Motion

 

Brilliant!! How did you do it?

 

I would definitely pay to make that a reality!!

 

Now working for process automation. Let you know when it'll completed.

 

It's hardly explain by words. Now working on solution for a few clicks.

 

You front center speaker pod looks very different from any other xf I have seen. Was it custom?

 

It's Meridian central speaker cover, available only if you have the Meridian Surround Sound Speaker System

 

Sorry, but I don't see the pluses with this set up...It's a disaster waiting to happen..I just hope you don't have family and or friends with you when it does.

 

It was made in case for long journey with family and friends, the front passenger now can enjoy the movie or live concert while car moving.

Every driver should realize the danger of such kind things like watching movie or chatting via smartphone while driving.

 

I mean no disrespect to your creative and sincere intentions..but I caution you because you will become a victim of your own complacency.

 

To give some context, TV pictures have been shown on the front screen in Japanese cars since the 1980's (i mean cars in Japan) it's very common for Japanese drivers to be watching the news, or any other video for that matter, while they are driving.

You could be just as easily distracted by your cellphone, navigation, tuning the radio, lighting a cigarette or picking your nose.

I was involved in a car accident while lighting a cigarette years ago. I didn't blame Philip Morris for it.

 

1. Driving while on the cell phone...#1 cause of death and car accidents over drunk driving. Not an excuse for justification.

2. Nav systems make you agree to make all your settings before engaging the car into drive..And you usually have voice turn by turn instructions and taking your eyes off the road for a second is not too much of a distraction as is watching a movie.

3. Tuning the radio is done by finger controls on the steering wheel.

4. Proof again that cigarettes are bad for you.

5. And Japan? They usually drive bicycles and mopeds don't they?

 

I wasn't offering an excuse. I was just trying to give examples. There are plenty more other things in a car which can be a distraction too.

Not all systems. For example the factory EU maps in the X-Type, S-Type and X350 XJ allow you to enter a destination on the move, a feature which is locked out on the US and Australian maps. There are other makes & models which do the same. Changing the Climate Control settings also requires you to look down at the screen while you are pressing buttons.

In a Jaguar XF, yes. In other makes & models, older cars for example, no, not always.

That wasn't the point of my example.

Obviously you've never been there. I have, many times.

My first trip to Japan was as a student in the 1980's. My host had a Toyota Crown, and I was amazed to see a TV in the dashboard. He was watching the news in the morning while we were driving into the city. Perfectly legal.

My most recent trip last year, got in a taxi which was the latest Toyota Crown, just been released. What an amazing machine. A massive OLED screen in the middle of the dash, and again, with TV broadcast. The driver was kind enough to give me a run through of all the features (while we were driving down the freeway at 50mph), had TV, DVD, full multimedia with access to his Android phone, text messages, emails. The lot...

 

Then why add to it and compound the distractions?

There is a good reason for that in civilized countries...keeps drivers focused on the road.

We were just talking about Modern Jaguars I believe.

No, but it further proved my point about extra distractions.

Obviously I would never want to go there, if that is how they drive.

 

Forgot to inform: the solution for USA for unlocking option to enter destination on the move using SDD also solved

 

Today in Australia was activated Video In Motion in LR2 and Evoque:

 

Cambo, some (d*k) speak just to add ZERO to the conservation!

 

Better to add, than to be one..save your school yard antics for the playground.

 

DPK,

I get your concern, but surely one comment bringing such to everyone's attention would be sufficient.

You've now successfully derailed what was, to the vast majority of people here, an interesting and relevant topic.

 

@0829 Can you share how you activated Video in Motion? I'm very interested.
