This will be a fairly simple question, I think. I tried searching the forum but didn't immediately find the answer.

For newer LS460s (2013-current) with the ML system (that theoretically can play DVD movies), is there a bypass device (like Prestigious Society) that will enable the movies to play on the front monitor while the car is in motion? I have a 2008 LS600hL now with the rear seat entertainment/DVD option, and I had the Prestigious Society mod installed to allow the front screen to show movies also. I'm considering moving up to a 2013+ LS, and I see very few with the rear-seat entertainment option, but I think as long as the movies can play in the front while the car is moving, I'll be satisfied. Also, it's my understanding that I would need the ML system in order to play DVDs, right? Thanks!

Yes, you need the ML system to play DVDs. Re: the interface hack for front display video - I believe it can be done but I'll let someone more knowledgeable respond.

I'm still doing my initial research into the LS460, and this is important to me as well since I have installed some sort of bypass in all my cars. The only thing I have found so far is this:

It's basically a bypass for in motion lockouts. I've read somewhere that there is a module with "more options", but I can no longer find the post. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.

I wonder if it can just be coded off like in my BMW. I'd rather do that then have to dig around in the dash.
