Default Watching DVD while moving

Hey guys sort of new to the V had a bunch of other ls1 powered cars, but this V has a few too many bells & whistles for me! Any way I can watch a DVD in motion? I tried one click on e-brake worked but I assume the wheel sensors took over once I started moving & stopped the screen. Your help would be greatly appreciated

You did the following?



Here are the steps to be driving, riding, and watching (Be safe, if you are diving, do not watch screen!!)
Step 1 Put in DVD.
Step 2 Play DVD (Do not leave it at the front menu, if you do not start the DVD you will not be able to start it after you begin to drive.)
Step 3 While playing - Hit the second from the bottom buttons on the right hand side of the DVD screen and then press the forward Seek Button. (You will see a little flicker)
NOTE: If you see a differnt screen with the words "cold reboot" on it, press the same button combination AGAIN and it should go back to the DVD...

Step 4 Now disable the parking break and make sure that the DVD stays on.
Step 5 Enjoy

That's the procedure I use. I always have to hit the button combination twice.

Probably a tech leaked the procedure.

On some discs I've put in, doing the button combination ends up chaptering forward & I'm now 10mins into the movie.

Someone (IIRC WAIT4ME) has a plug in for the back of the Nav on the V2 that tricks the system into thinking the parking brake is always engaged.

I'm sure alternatively, you could probably just ground that cable from the radio so it thinks the same thing. I know thats how alot of radios bypass the setup. Most of the time, its a pink cable. Anyone have the NAV schematics for the radio cables \ harness?

That wont work. Its more complicated than that.
