I bought it out of curiosity as much as anything else Eddie but it would be nice if it could pay for itself.  £25 is a great price considering the cost of the tool and the cost of the various unreliable hardware solutions.

What is VIM?
Title: Re: Video in motion sorted
Post by: vRStu on July 03, 2011, 09:00:04 pm
Video in Motion.

Allows your RNS510 to output video whilst on the move instead of cutting out.

vRSTu and Eddie,

Maybe you should advertise it differently because alot of peeps don't really know what VIM means in abbreivation and I can tell you the first thing I wish for when I got hold of the RNS 510 was "is there a way I can watch dvd whilst driving(I meant my wife watch dvd whilst I drove).

Its easily one of the best mods IMO.

Got you.  Its not just a simple connection to the handbrake then I guess.  Would be a handy mod for alot of people

I've not really be advertising as such, I've not had the tool for long to be honest but if someone wants it done then I'm happy to help.

I've seen the VIM by cd on another site as well. :wink:

I'm glad that download link don't work for the sake of the people on here who have invested in the correct hardware to do the job!
