Ground the parking brake wire to the chassis. It's in the nav hack diy thread. It will enable video in motion.

yeah you can buy this device called Tv_navi kit. I just installed it last week and it works great. runs around $250 -300 . Or if you want to go the cheap route, you can cut some wires and splice them to a switch to bypass the parking brake. Search the forum and u will find the threads...

yeah if you just want dvd, ground the parking wire, it's in the faq

actually, it depends on the region. in some region, ml does NOT mean it plays dvd. you need ml that comes with dvd changer as well and that will allow you to have dvd playback
