Nah, its cool. But internal distractions(something you cause) as opposed to external distractions(something you have no control over), which one is more dangerous? It can be argued either way. IMO watching a movie is more dangerous then staring at a hot chick jogging down the road while driving. This thread was on it's way to dieing off, that is until you posted in it. Also, this is my thread/poll so I will interject when I see fit here. Nothing personal.

I like to hear what auex has to say. Mainly because I think he says alot of it to see what idiot will argue against it. What's the saying..."Arguing on the internet is like running in the speical olympics. Even if you win, your still retarted."

Geez.. In that case, we all should be able to get all those prime parking spaces next to the litle ramps everywhere! :P

And Auex, funny you mention that because when I was in my senior year of HS (a looong time ago) my buddy jumped the curb and took out a bus stop sign while checking out some bikini clad girlies doing a charity car wash...

Now on that note... I'm on my way out the door for a "guy's night out"... Think I'll take "Girls Gone Wild Vol 23432" for the ride there..... Video while driving - Page 5 -- posted image.

Hell I agree with Pioneer, I can't wait till this lil puppy is in my store. Being the only installer for the company there is nothing worse then hearing "is there anyway u can play the video while driving?". "The sales man said u know how to do it.. ect ect" All i do is hand them the book and tell them to do some reading. This is awesome!! Can't wait!. Its Backordered now so a few more weeks. But i agree with ya Auex, the morons out there that think they can watch a movie, talk on the cell phone and drive at the same time, they need to all be slapped. I have a hard enough time driving with the chicks around :p. Neways about time one of the manufactures stepped up and made a real change.

That makes no sense at all... It only takes a split second to get into an accident...So whether it be inside or outside a split second is a split second.

It was interesting reading all of the comment but this is ultimately going to be a market-driven decision. If I am going to shell out $1500+ for a HU, I want all of the feature including being to able to watch DVD while I am driving, and complete control of the Navigation at all time. I am predicting that the N-2 sales won't come close to the N-1 and Pioneer will re-think their strategy of this market segment. I am guessing the margin on the AVICs is a lot more than any other car audio equiments they are selling so they have to decide how to market the AVIC based on financial versus any other BS such as consumer's safety and such. Don't ever let any company feeding you any BS about how much they care about your safety.

So Pioneer is either going to get out of the segment or come up with a way to 'make the customer' happy. It's all about the benjamin.

Well, the problem with your logic is that it is NOT a feature of the unit to watch it while driving. It is illegal.

This is one of those issues where I dont think either side is going to budge. The people that say watching video while driving is dangerous is always going to say that and the people that say it should be left up to them is their choice. My only response to this is I hear the argument of "Its my life, my car so it should be my choice". The problem there is that things like wearing your seatbelt is the same thing. Its your car, your life and your choice but if you gget caught you are getting ticketed. The car manufactures are made to put those seatbelts in the car to PROTECT YOU. I think you guys are going to see this become a common thing and that witin a couple years all the manufactures are going to be doing this and there is nothing you can do to stop it. nguyenk said that if he was going to pay 1500 bucks for a indash deck then he want all the features to work all the time. Well I got news for ya, the saftey brake lock out IS A FEATURE of this system and is how its designed to work.
