Some of us on this board are a little bit more mature to think we need to watch music videos while driving. Seeing as you're only 18, you're still a minor. I hope your insurance is through the roof (you deserve it). This is the reason 25 is the threshold for insurance companies.

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.

^Now did I ever say I was going to 'watch' the videos? No, DVD’s have a higher quality of sound than cd's... Also maybe people sitting in the passenger seat would enjoy some visual entertainment on those long drives to downtown? Who’s more mature, the 18 year old or the older guy bashing on the 18 year old because he expressed his opinion; also just tried making a joke about 1up' other C-class drivers? Don’t question my integrity; I did nothing to you so why are you going around picking fights and trying to 'gather' information about me? You live in Hawaii, and own 2 high end benz; stop making your life stressful and go to the beach and get the stick out your ***.

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.

<<Oh, music DVD's! I thought you were gonna pop in Superbad and just listen to the actors talk. That would be bad.>>
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!
