Hi guys me again im wanting to try and bypass the front screen tv/dvd deactivation while the rover is moving so the front passenger can watch what the rear passengers are watching Has anybody had this done if so how?

Cheers stu

Hi Stu... You need to try using the search... You already know about the 753 code.. It is in there. You can't change channel, you have to select a tv station or DVD, start it, then go to the 753 menu and select tv/DVD test.. Previously..

you can buy a lead that allows for it to work no matter what gear you are in

between £90 - £150 ...or as said use the diagnostic screen

get caught with video on the front screen whilst in motion and you'll be sorry... ... - .- -.

Thought about getting the lead but I wouldn't trust myself to not get distracted..

i had dvd in my smax and as much as you 'dont' want to look at the screen ,you start peeking and thats when the massive 18 wheeler slams on its brakes in front of you and you look up and ................................. ... - .- -.

I tried TV on the move once, mostly out of boredom/curiosity, and it was HIDEOUSLY distracting! Really quite dangerous. Don't want to sound like anyone's Dad but I wouldn't actually recommend it.

Scarey the 5 'o' would need to prove it wasn't the sat nav?
I used to have 6 screens in my modded Clio years ago never bothered me with the screen in the front was more concerned about getting rear ended as the rear headrests had tvs lol

@stuboy00, the police just need to 'suspect' you have been watching on the go..

@npikey, its in the wiki.. ... - .- -.

So how can they then distinguish between a sat nav and a tv ? Especially in the monster that is the FFRR
Cheers stu

Scarey, cant find it, am I being STUPID ???

As I have an earlier non touch screen I enabled it with Navcoder but have to say, apart from trying it to see if it works, Ive never actually drove with the TV on, only the headrest screens, except a few times in the drive thru. Reformed

I have just put in the new digital tv unit in my FFRR.. First time trying it was at the weekend. I was really wanting to get it on the front screen whilst on the move, so as the front passenger could watch it... Jeez, it's dangerous.. You can't compare it to the sat nav. I tried not to look at it, I even had my elbow at a daft angle to try and cover the screen. Nope, i was pleased I could use the 753 menu, I like finding stuff out about the car, but it will NOT be used on the move again... And to think I was going to buy the cable to enable on-the-move viewing.... 753 has saved me £100!!!!! Previously..

@ Contra ... If you think the TV on the move is distracting then having the five cameras with the camera surrond on whilst driving is dodgy too  ====================================
