Wouldn’t the full question be; you want to watch DVD’s while you’re driving?

There's another thread this might belong to "watching a DVD while having sex in the Mini..."

Someone please.... 'splain this to me!!! Are we watching them while we're driving? Cause that's no good... Are we playing them for our passenger? Cause then we don't have a Nav system... Are we sitting in our driveway watching movies? Cause... no. I'm not even gonna go there!

Maybe just listening to a Dolby D or DTS soundtrack to a DVD? Which you can certainly do at home. Just turn off the monitor.

But then you would need a whole "nother amp and sub, etc.

Someone has done it I believe in a factory package with screens in the back seat, so the sound portion has been figured out.

Regards,

I usually dont use my NAV when Im driving around my local area and thats 95% of my driving. A lot of the time I have a passenger or passengers...hence wanting a TV. Also good if your waiting to pick someone up or stuck in bumper to bumper traffic..which happens to be a lot in NY.

Really good point, I always wondered why people would put in DVD players. I'm not going to pay all that money so other people can watch it. But that makes a lot of sense. :smile:

Ok... I understand if you're stuck somewhere. And I certainly understand if you're in bumper to bumper traffic.... but then, I think that's one of the worst times to watch it, as that is when you need to be paying the most attention. I don't even want to think that the person coasting along behind me could potentially be distracted by a movie...

But, since this thread is just about "how do I do it?" I suppose I'll just stop bugging all those inquisitive bodies out there. Even if I do think it's a bad, horrible, scary idea.
