Another solid reason to bypass ANY headunit that locks out DVD video while in motion is this:
AUDIO DVD
It shows a disc, title and artist name as the video while it plays your file. Cool eh?
I just successfully placed 4.1gb of MP3 data onto a DVD in Audio DVD format. Nero can do this. "Audio DVD Creattor" can do this.
Tonight I will try placing 8.4gb of MP3's onto a Dual layer DVD as an audio DVD. I'm sure it will work too.

The video lockout safety feature only means the screen must be disabled while the vehicle is in motion. This is the law in all 50 states. Playing DVD-A discs is legal, as long as the screen is not displaying live video. ------------- Support the12volt.com

so if you have a touch screen that did dvd video, music, music cds, navigation, etc.... everything but the dvd video would be legal to use while in motion?

According to the way the law in California reads, yes. The only thing that is illegal is "moving video in view of the driver." ------------- Support the12volt.com

So If I'm going down the highway and I see a minivan with Headrest video's playing some video, I would be wrong of me to view it?
Just nitpicking.
