Title: Enable DVD Video while Car Moving - RNS 510
Post by: Deako on August 28, 2009, 03:45:14 pm
Not for the driver obviously, but for the passenger on a long journey.

How would you go about enabling the DVD Video on an RNS 510 while the car was moving?

Found this, but pricey

Any ideas of a cheaper alternative?

That's cheap as it is, the Kufatec one is €169, they come up on ebay once in a while but still go for £100+

Its quite a sophisticated system to fool so it will cost a bit. (thats not to say Kufatec make a nice profit on it) but they spent time developing it so i got my moneys worth.

Sorry to not be fruitful in the cheaper department, but ive got the Kufa one and it works perfectly....so steph tells me! ;)

It is still illegal to have video's playing on the front screen whilst on the move Deako!

Having said that, who would see it from outside the car!

I wouldn't do it even though mine has this function (kenwood) as it isn't far removed from the texting thread.  :scared:

I know if I did it I wouldn't be able to resist watching, so I don't even go there! :chicken:

Wouldn't find it any more distracting than the radio or conversing in the car. Wouldn't ever look at it, passenger can do that.

its all about trusting yourself to do it.

I trust myself not to text, and also not to watch a bloody dvd whilst driving.

Its mainly for steph when we have to drive MILES AND MILES to all the southern biased meets! ;)

Yes it would, you don't watch the radio, Get her an Ipod and she can watch video's on that, or enjoy the scenery.

Or a DVD player with a 12v adapter. Plenty around for under the cost of a Kufatec adapter for the head unit :wink:

No preaching necessary. :) I wouldn't watch it. I don't use the phone, txt while driving so wouldn't watch a DVD. It's no more distracting than having the map turned on for the sat nav.
