I wonder if this guy was under the influence when he posted this! I have an aftermarket flyaudio unit and I love the fact that it can play movies while driving because my son in the backseat loves to watch them while on the road!

To me the OP sounds like those paranoid Americans who watch wayyy too much dateline. Everyone is not out to get you. If you ask me half the safety features today are useless. You want safer roads? get states to make the license exam much harder, I mean what kind of moron cannot pass that thing?

My airbags aren't plugged in, but thats because I cannot afford a new driver knee airbag at the moment, who the hell needs knee airbags? If something happens, it'll happen to me.

The dudes doing the nav hack here are enthusiasts (well most), they're not those morons who eat, put their clothes on, and text while driving.

you bring up a very valid point... most americans have absolutely no idea how the rest of the world works when it comes to driving. i've driven the autobahn quite a bit in Germany and most americans i think would **** their pants. there is absolutely no room for BS when cars around you are traveling in excess of 140mph. and NOT getting in accidents.

it blows me away that i can drive there for 3 months straight each time i go and see ZERO accidents on the freeway with a speed range of 80-150mph. yet at least one day a week in america some ****ing moron crashes there car going 60 or less. what the hell is wrong with us.

Geez pull the hell over and program that bad boy and please most certainly stay away from my town if you're gonna hack your nav!

Do you have a Prius too?

Yeah I agree, I spent some time in Europe too and these politicians and lawmakers should take a good look there. Higher speed does not equal more accidents. Its all about how you drive a car and **** well if someone is too busy stuffing their face with McDonalds they shouldn't be controlling a 3500 pound object. Hell people buying cars here look at how many cup holders a car has lmao while Porsches in Germany didnt even have cupholders till a few years back.
