I might be interested, but I've got a couple questions:
1. I read on CNET that the video playback is disabled except when the parking brake is set. Does this mean you can't play DVDs while driving?
2. Does this disable the steering wheel controls?
3. It says XM-ready, but can you also use Sirius with the touchscreen?

No you can watch videos while driving but that may depend on who you have install it. There must be a way to bypass it b/c i was able to watch while driving. As far as the steering wheel controls I don't know b/c I didn't have them in my car and I don't know about the sirius either. I would call a local stereo shop and ask them about the steering wheel controls and sirius. Heck for that matter if you are really serious about it I'll call the place i had it installed at and ask them for you but it will be Monday before I can call.

the wire that makes it not play is while driving is just a ground wire thats supposed to connect to the ebrake. all you have to do is ground that wire out and you can watch whatever whenever
