Anyone know exactly how to get the optical cable out? He mentioned in the video that the optical cable was fragile. I want to make sure I do this step correctly.

Optical cable removal is described below with the time stamp for the video below.
All you do like any cable removal from behind the console there is a plastic clip holding a cable wire or harness in that needs to be either pushed in and then pulled out, or the clip needs to pulled up. Here is what I mean. Hope that helps.

Will it allow you to browse the internet while driving ? Not that I am going to do that, there are just certain sites that I visit for streaming music.

Yes all options that are disabled while the vehicle is in motion are now functional. Not like I would watch music videos while driving or anything.

I see that this mod allows you to
  • activate possibility to enter navi destinations while car is in motion
I wonder if there is an easy way to just activate this without the VTM mod?
