My car is an IS350 F with the ML Sound System. I can verify already that the DVD player is attached (just like on other models) to the Parking Brake and that it will only play if the brake is applied.

Question is, how to do the "hack" on this new system so it thinks the brake is always ON. I would really like not to have to take apart the console to do this, maybe there is a way to get the cable under the console close to the Parking Brake?

If anybody has any idea please post here so we can discuss it.

Disclaimer: I am not going to watch any DVD while driving, this is only for the passengers. In fact, the screen location on the new 3IS makes it very easy to place a small cover on the left side to block the screen completely. I am doing his so my wife can watch movies while we go on long trips (we take 3 hour trips about once a month).

Thanks!!
