Default crack dvd player to play while driving

i heard you can crack the dvd player to play while driving. Does anyone know how to do it.. someone told me to press the seek button and another(not worth desrcibing in detail now) to allow it to play. It just says reset navigation and another option when i do thatr.. im not sure if thats right or wrong

Figured you guys would know have figured out by now... let me know how to do it, if you know

1).Let the DVD start to play
2).Hold the RIGHT SEEK and the SECOND FROM THE BOTTOM BUTTON on the right side of the radio AT THE SAME TIME.
3).After holding it for few seconds you're good to go.

Onec you stop the movie, you can re-start it until you stop and put the e-brake on again.

IIRC, some functionality is lost with this as well, but just play with it and you'll see.

Just push those two buttons simultaneously, twice. One the screen you described shows up after pushing then the first time, hit them again and it'll return to the movie.

As a rule, I only play movies I've seen before. I'm a pretty responsible/alert driver anyway. I generally don't even glance at the screen when I'm moving.

Its also great for concert DVDs.

Car on, Ebrake on. Once the movie is playing (can't do it from the menu), hit the buttons. Then you're ready to release the brake and hit the road.
