Play while drving This item seems pretty good. I want to hook a rear display up to it so my kids could watch.. Has anyone had any trouble hooking it up to play while driving?

I saw the ad for this product and thought "No way, this couldn't be a video player to watch while you're driving!" I came to this forum and lo and behold, there are actually people out there who think it's OK for them to do it. If you ever come alongside me watching a movie while you're driving, I'll run you right off the road.

the person asked a question and explained why they wanted it hooked up that way and all you trolls and amateur comedians want to do is lynch them for asking a question.If you dont have anything constructive to say, why just add junk in order to put others down. Makes you feel better?** (lest anyone find me lacking in humor, I did find the sarcastic posts above quite idiotic, stupid, and like some bully on a schoolyard picking on other kids. utterly worthless)

The color of my dash and instrument lights is red. I don't think it's too bright at night but try changing the color. Blue is nice and soothing at a dim setting even thought my lights are red I like changing the color to keep it interesting. Did you know the dimmer had a timer?

SO I got one of these for my wife...its a simple device and works as expected..the issue is it it TOO BRIGHT at night. We have the dimmer set to mode 3 with -15 level and ON. and it is still WAYYYY too bright at night. Other than powering it off or covering the touchscreen with non-adhesive window tint any suggestions?

It is illegal in some states to use a cell phone while driving even when on a handsfree device. People still do it. What about the people not driving, is it ok for them to use a cell phone? Some folks do watch movies, or text while driving which is all bad, but I think it's ok if you're not at the wheel. Does anyone agree?

I just want to know two things:1) will it fit my 1998 Crown Victoria interceptor - it seems somewhat questionable, though it IS dual DIN.2) Can I hook the aux AV in to a rear mounted camera for an additional view when backing up?Yes, I work in law enforcement, but opinion wise, I think it should be allowed foor a driver to lsiten to a movie while the passenger watches. That is a personal responsibility issue when tehe screen is within view of the driver, but the law is the law, and it needs to be changed before I listen while driving with the screen in view. Too bad, I like to listen to movies on long road trips. I actually like that better than music alone.

Tuner? No I don't believe it does. It does have a video input, so I suppose you could use an external tuner. Also, when hooked up according to the instructions you can't play DVDs or videos while driving. There are bypasses available on the aftermarket ... I wouldn't recommend watching TV or movies and driving, but the bypass means you don't have to tie in to the parking brake in case you ever DO want to watch videos (while parked or driving).

It doesn't work on mine, not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't appear to be wired properly to work. I've tried swapping the cables around that I attach to it with no luck even. No video, no audio, only static when all three are connected to my RetroPi Emulator and a TV

Hi,We never did it though. My kid has to give up on this toy because it stopped working only after 3 months. Believe it or not, during that 3 months we had to send it to the vendor because it was broke. It was in my opinion a waste of money...

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.

This bypass allows you to watch video while driving. If you don't have this there will be a message that pops up saying that you can't watch video while the car is in motion. There are instructions that come with it all you have to do is connect the wires to there respective colors (I recommend soldering them for better connection) and voil. You can play videos while you drive. I'll have to let you know that it is illegal to have this installed or operating while driving. FYI

Easily turned left to right or completely around. I thought of usin it to video my little girl in back but can't see display when turned around. For speed I have my gps mounted just below to catch the corner where Speed is shown. If I ever need to get out of a speeding ticket I have proof if I was wronged.

I downloaded an aftermarket application and driver bundle called "TV Expert" to get mine to work. It's a little glitchy, but my kids can now play games from an external console through it.

I could never make it work properly, good luck. My grandson has it now and is still trying to make it work. They should never put it on the market. Junk!!

mine would do well with running or jostling the player, but as soon as you go outside it cuts out. Mine was almost unusable outside in most areas.

Hi there. I just had it put in. I dont think it plays blue ray.. The DVD is good. The only thing is it doesnt play while you are driving, but you can get an adaptor to bypass that. (thats what the installer told me) overall I really like it. If you dont care about navigation, you might want to look at something a bit cheaper.

Just wanted to put my two cents in too! I just received mine last night - I have a 3 TB hard drive connected to it - I got it because not all tvs (or game systems) play all the different movie formats - this thing plays them all - I am VERY IMPRESSED, and based on the fact of seeing two USB ports I'm positive I can hook up another hard drive (the cartoon one for the kids). There wasn't any lag works perfect. If they ever add more options to the home menu that would be a bonus!

I haven't really played with it, but I haven't been able to get video to play on it at all, but I'm sure i'm doing something wrong. I love the BT Audio with it. I just connect my i phone to it and play stream radio trough Jango.

Mam I haven't yet purchased this item. However, I am seriously considering it. I see from the picture of the rear that there is not audio output. Most folks have some form of cable/satellite or a component connected to their television. The no audio output problem can be remedied by connecting cable/satellite box to audio receiver or component audio to receiver not television. Just feed in the video into television. That is what I intend to do if this television becomes my final choice. Hope this info helps.
