Check out CadillacFAQ.com I know they have the DVD unlock there. You will be able to watch DVD's while you drive, but you lose control over the DVD functions while you are driving. For example: you cant fast-forward, or skip track while you are driving

Does the screen actually have decent graphics?

I thought they were pretty good. I'm sure some of the expensive aftermarket units have better graphics, but I was happy with them.

so yea i was one of those guys who paid 6.50 for this info ha ha so ill give it for free lol they are right that you lose all control of the dvd functions but you can watch a movie while you are driving... it looks pretty good and that bose stereo sounds amazing with dvd sound... ok so what you do is get the movie started so that it is playing the movie because if the menu screen comes on while you are moving you cant start the movie.. you press the fith button down on the right and the right seek button at the same time and when you start to go the movie will still play...

Here are the steps to be driving, riding, and watching (Be safe, if you are diving, do not watch screen!!)
Must put on the Parking brake.
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

If you did everything correct you will notice that all the features are disabled. If you are at the main menu of the dvd you will not be able to select play movie or any features.

If you would like to stop the dvd, you must hit the top right button first. Then it will bring up the safety lock if you are in motion or parking break off.

Other notes:
I got DVD-R to play fine in mine, but the +R are having some problems.

Latina *** Queens 4 looks pretty good in there too for what it's worth.... I left it in the DVD slot hoping I would remember to play it in the event that I got pulled over.

It makes sense... If your gonna drive and watch a movie thats one thing. But when you get into more than that it can be a bit of a road hazzard...

Atleast the tranny is under warrantee

Why did you pay $6.50 for info? CadillacFAQ.com is free.

I just picked up my car and brought Transformers with me to try out. Works perfectly. Much thanks for that. It will help when I'm going on those three hour trips to my girlfriends. and those weekend trips with the nephews. And the Bose sounds awesome.
