#103442 -It is illegal for the driver to watch movies without the e-brake set. This how-to will show how you can watch movies while driving.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Image
First you need to unscrew 4 screws that are holding the panel you need to get behind.

Image

Image

After removing the 4 screws, it should be able to be pulled toward you, but be careful and not pull to hard as the cigarette lighter is connected. So disconnect it.
Image

After disconnecting the cigarette lighter, move the bottom piece to the side. It should look like this now:
Image

Next locate the pink wire that says brake on it. This is the wire that we are going to ground to make it possible to view movies and drive at the same time.
Image

Now just grab some speaker wire and some wire connectors, strip the tip of the brake wire and the speaker wire and connect it with the wire connector.
Image

Next, you can either make a ground or find a place that already has a ground. Luckily, when I removed my Sunpro tach I left the previous ground wire, so I stripped the tip of it and connected the remaining half of the speaker wire.
Image

Image

Now connect your cigarette lighter and screw in the 4 screws. Now you can watch movies while you drive. :thumb: Pm me if you have any questions.
Image enjoy :thumb:

#103498 Very bad idea, and you cant do this on all of them, each manufacturer has a different way to block this and some you cannot bypass at all.

#103505 Is it illegal in your country to sell headunits that can play movies while driving or what? Tell me more about the law!

I got a 7" wide touchscreen in my daily driver and it is great to have music videos and such playing on dvd while driving :D Here you can do whatever you want as long as you don´t crash or act like a drunk ;)

A bit dangerous of course...

#103515 Honestly, I have no idea why its illegal? :? I guess they look at it as an obstruction while driving. I have heard of people getting tickets and what not, if the cop see's the "video" he can pull you over and give you a ticket.

If there was something interesting in the paper I would read it and drive. Cmon you gotta be retarded if you can't honestly have a movie going and can't drive and pay attention :lol: Might as well do a diy on how to talk on the cell phone and see how many people think that's a bad idea.
