You can't. It's a safety feature built in by Lexus. You can hack around it by snipping some wires, but that'll void your warranty on a $4,000+ piece of equipment in your car.

There is a way, but it's your responsibility to use it safely and legally.
You're from California, and it's illegal in the state to have a DVD player in front of the driver's shoulders.
Here are instructions:

I'd be curious to know of all those that have performed the hack how often do you watch DVD's while in motion after the novelty wore off?

I have mine hacked and I normally have music video DVDs in my car. I hardly watch any movies in my car.

I never watch it myself. I turn it on if I have passengers only.
The novelty never wears off for my passengers...

The non-ML doesn't have a DVD player, so hacking it won't make it play DVDs.
