I just purchased a pioneer dvd/cd deck that flips out. Iv heard that there
is some part or code to use with the deck that will allow you to watch dvds
without emergency brake on. Could anyone give me some more info on being
able to watch DVD's while actually driving? I would appreciate any info....
thanks guys

Yeah, in most states, as far as I know, it's illegal. So, I'm not going
to help you with that. And on top of that it's dangerous. Having another
person in the car, lighting a cigarette, talking on the phone, etc. is
hard enough, but watching a DVD is totally different. It usually needs
your full attention. That is why you would need the emergency brake on,
so idiots don't have wrecks while driving while watching a movie.

Yeah, it's an RTO4873 IC in the Pioneer unit itself, though it may be
labelled as something else in your particular unit. You have to flip it
upside down, remove the screws, bang it gently with a rubber mallet at all 4
corners, and it should pop right off. You'll see a black IC near the center
of the top PCB. You need to disable it. I've found that the easiest way to
do this is to take some solder and short all the pins to each other. By the
way, use silver solder, and leave the soldering iron on the pins for a long
time so that you can make sure that the solder seeps into the pins really
well to provide the ideal connection between pins. Good luck.

Now that you've been warned (and yes, it can be dangerous) I thought I'd
let you know that the newer Pioneer units (and I've heard from an
installer that Alpine and Panasonic will be following suit) use an
inertial movement detector instead of just the parking brake, which
basically means just bypassing the parking brake won't fix your problem
if this is a brand-new unit.

While I'm at it, if you were wanting it for passenger use (like rear
passengers where the driver cannot see it) an auxiliary video screen can
be used and should be able to display video while driving without bypassing.

In most states (if not all), no video viewing equipment may be
installed/used in such a way that the operator can view programming
while the vehicle is in motion.

Yes, it is extremely dangerous. If you found a way to do it, I'd
never ride with you. You seem to have suicidal tendencies, and I'm not
ready to check out just yet.

If you are bored with driving, let someone else drive and go ahead and
watch a movie.

Like a lot of car audio, it's become a status thing. There are people
around here who actually insist on installing 5 or more LCDs in their car.
It's silly. And it's spawned by stupidity like competitions (yeah right, a
"sport"...) and MTV's "Pimp My Ride", where they destroy already destroyed
cars, and in doing so, make the car virtually undrivable and the audio
system unlistenable.

It is not (yet) illegal in Iowa. But I do agree that it is dangerous. I
have an Alpine IVA-D300 that can be bypassed easily. I have never done so.

Do in-dash DVD units allow you to LISTEN to your movie while you're driving?
I've always wondered this.

Yes. At least all the ones I know of do. Normally it is just the main
screen that is blocked for video, but you can have video playing on
auxiliary screens, like on the back of headrests, a flip-down, etc.

I agree with you guys that it is dangerous, but honestly Im a very safe
driver with not one mark on my record. Its more for passengers in the car to
watch a movie on a trip, or me to catch a glimpse while in a traffic jam o at
a stop light, not for watch when Im going 70 mph. It would just be nice to
to be able to flip it on without always putting on the parking break. I just
bought the newer pioneer model which is supposed to be tougher to bypass.
someone mentioned about taking it apart and doing some minor surgery on it...
lol.. but Im just afraid I might **** that up. a guy at Best buy mentioned
to me that there is a part that you can buy online which you can install to
trick your system into thinking that it is always in park. Has anyone heard
about this? Thanks for the insight guys, I appreciate it.

I don't think you're going to get much help here. Even if you don't *plan*
on watching it while driving, it's still too tempting and too dangerous to
play movies on a screen that's visible to the driver. All you need is a car
full of people laughing at something to distract the driver's attention
towards the screen.

In other words, I suggest you come up with another idea.

That may be, but your query tends to say you aren't a safe driver so
much as you are a lucky driver.

Its more for passengers in the car to watch a movie on a trip, or me to catch
a glimpse while in a traffic jam o at a stop light, not for watch when Im going

Sorry, but traffic is bad enough. Would you like to be behind the guy
who was sneaking a peek when the light changed and he didn't move?

It would just be nice to to be able to flip it on without always putting on the
parking break.

If it wasn't the parking brake, it would likely be something else you,
or anyone else, would like to avoid having to do. The way many feel
about not being able to input to a GPS/Navigation system when the car
is moving. Hey, come on. My passenger could input for me and we
wouldn't have to stop. Right?

You could probably Google and find it under something as simple as
emergency brake bypass for car video equipment.

He was kidding. You'll never probably have to take a HU apart in your

Help? Nah I think it should be rephrased - How to have a wreck with an
in-dash DVD and screen!

Well I wasn't going to respond to his quest until I read your very
impolite message. So now I'll just tell him how it's done and he can
join the rest of those drivers who are doing equally questionable
things; eating and drinking, talking on their cell phones, programming
their navigation systems (or worse, reading paper maps...), or any of
the many other more socially acceptable distractions;

For older units, simply ground the wire that goes to the e-brake.
For never units with inertia sensors, simply connect the DVD screen to
the rear window camera input.

Sorry, I've got this thing about hypocrisy...

You view of hypocrisy is valid as far as I am concerned, however, I do
think telling someone how to do something which is dangerous to all
around them at the very least, and likely illegal, just so they can
join the others who are committing dangerous acts smacks of a lack of
social ethics.

Lets tell every one how to make bombs to commit terrorism so they
don't have to expend any energy looking for the information for
themselves. They can just follow the provided directions and kill your
family and/or friends, instead of giving up because it takes some
effort. The information is out there, I know.

Apparently so. You first acknowledge that it's dangerous, and then you
tell him how to do it. Way to go.
