There's gotta be a way you can slip the Tech at the dealership an extra $100 and he could do something on the computer. No?

You may be more older and "mature" then the 18 year old, but your sounding like your 12. "I hope your insurance is through the roof", well that's just classy... it probably is, your just bitter cuz he can afford it.

He can state his opinion, but your the one trying to bash him....grow up

Unhappy Let all get along...............

Just I look how people get and argue here in this post about stuff. Instead of just giving there thoughts all they do is hit on others. I thought since we all owned expensive cars we all have some type of class and education. To perform a civilized thread instead of hitting on others. I GUESS MONEY CANT BUY CLASS OR EDUCATION. Why don't we all grow up and stop from putting each other down. Its a thread to ask ? and help each other out. Let make the best of it..

on an aftermarket deck, I wired up the circuit that is supposed to be hooked up to the parking brake straight through so that "my front seat passenger" could watch movies while I drove.

I know its aftermarket, but maybe the circuit is similar. $850 sounds really high for something that is probably just a patching wire, but I guess it took someone some time to read all the schematics to figure out which wires to bridge/cut.

Hope this helps. I think the main reason that they dont want you to have the DVD working while driving is to avoid distracted driving, but look at all the people out there on a daily basis. They dont need a DVD player for distracted driving.

you can still listen to the sound without VIM, it just cuts out the video...
-also, i edited your quote, should be 'than'

I didn't see this before but the guy I'm having do it is charging $850 so I think the module is pretty high...

does anybody know where they get the module so that we can find out the price and negotiate the labor...

wtf is up with people giving the OP a hard time about this? It's his choice, if you don't like it, dont' reply to the ****ing question. I mean damn, nobody asked you guys to do it to your car, if you dont' like it. move the **** on.

Bunch of little kids in this thread who think they are god's gift to perfect drivers.

for real.

there's so much negativity on this board.

i thought i was gonna get lynched for putting aftermarket xenons in my c300, even tho there's no glare and the cut off is low enough that i don't blind anybody.

Superbad is the greatest movie in the american movie production in the past... 15/20 years. I had tears in my eye's the whole time... i might just pop that in to hear the diologe... Ima watch it right now as a matter of fact lol. If all thos who havent seen it, watch it, it is extreamly raunchy so dont show ur kids. Very funny at least IMO!
