Hey guys. Heres my dilema. I am getting a in dash dvd player for my car, but i just found out that when the car is in gear the player will be unable to play dvd's. I also heard that you can hook it up special so that it will be able to play dvds anyways. Can somebody plz tell me how you do this? if it matters it will be going into a 2004 spyder gts and the player is pioneer's avh-p7500dvd

 

WTF? what kinda of crap is that man? are all players like that? cause that would def. **** me the hell off. I'm not sure what to tell you cause this is the first I have heard of the problem.. but damn

 

according to law, all players must be hooked up so that they cant play with the car in gear. pretty retarded huh? but there are ways around it. im just not sure how. anybody out there got the answers for me?????</P>

 

i'll ask my one of my installers and see what he has to say... what if your passengers want to watch?? lol, thats messed up.

 

il ask my buddy hes gotta ford lightning with dvd and ps2 hooked up in it and he can watch it while he is driving well his passengers can.

 

Its only 1 wire, it wouldnt be attached to cars wiring harness with the speakers and would be reletively thick. I also have a pioneer dvd player i just snipped the wire when i had the diagram in front of me. Lets see red is the hot wire black is ground yellow is ilum and blue is remote so how many you got left after that? Hope this helps if not ill pull my deck out and see which one it actually is, cause i cant get enough of watching dvds and driving long distances.

 

look on ebay they have special connections for a bypass to aovoid the dvd player from not playing while moving umm i dont know what u type in on ebay just search ur head unit and there should be a bypass out there becasuse for my iva d300 i had to get one.
Just look around and it will come about
haha

 

It's a safety feature basically, not to distract the driver i'm more than sure there are ways around it.
