Possible to watch movies while car is in gear?

I've heard that most DVD decks with screens wont play DVDs while the car is in gear. Is this true? And if so, how would one bypass this little gadget? Thank you.

The JVC KDX-M7 or something along those lines. I'm asking for my friend who bought one.

IIRC, it's just grounding tha unit somewhere different..

They sell bypass units on ebay and millionbuy.com...

Search for your deck and for the unit. It is pretty much grounding but sometimes you need a unit/kit. I have one for my alpine ivaw200

nah just grounding ur ebrake wire should do it. if not just hook up the ebrake wire to a radioshack toggle switch and u should be good to go.

Depends on the deck. Some will need a unit like the PAC TR-7, others just need to be grounded. There are units like some particular pioneer pieces that require soldering and/or modifications to the unit or the wiring itself.

Most of the Pioneer Avic's can be easily bypassed by moving the pins around in the connectors. As for other ones, you would have to search the web for more info.
