Bypassing Safety Feature: In-dash
-
Do you have the install guide for your Alpine head unit? It will say in there what exactly the head unit needs to see before you can watch movies. You can rig it up with a couple toggle switches like what was said, but 2FNLOUD hit the nail on the head when he said to use the TR-7 module. I currently have one installed in my vehicle with my Alpine head unit and it works like a champ. If you need one of those modules, PM me, they are in stock.

Alpine sucks for this what it needs to see is
- 12 volts from footbrake
- ground from park brake, ground removed, ground again
- 12 volts removed
I have mine thru toggles (already built into the dash), I will have to look at the E-bay deal to see if that would work, I doubt it though...

Actually it is much easier to get around Alpine's safety feature than some other brands. I know Pioneer has a certain model or models that you can't do anything to make it play video while driving. With the Alpine, all you have to do is buy this magical little module and hook it up to a few wires. Like I said, I have one that I use every day in my own vehicle, and it works perfectly.

This one is a programmable processor, pretty kewl..
