Has anyone ever tried to bypass the safety feature that prevents dvd viewing unless the car is park?


On most cars it's pretty simple, I'm wondering if the same is true for these bad boys.






I did this on an aftermarket head unit in my f-350 truck, and I must say, it's pretty nice to be able to watch sportscenter while sitting in rush hour. The dash screen plays back the video signal from my iphone. I'd really like to do the same when I take the kitty to work.
Please reserve safety/legal comments. I'm aware of the risks and the laws.

 

Probably messages on CAN. Just need to reprogram a module or several.

Might depend on doing 0 mph.

 

There's typically a bypass unit you can get, it's not cheap by any means. It's called NAV-TV and/or Video in Motion. Not cheap but accomplishes said goal.

 

Time for NHTSA to mandate a GPS chip right in the main unit board.
