Not to be a thread buster, but, you do know that most stores sell portable DVD players that connect to your aux power plug, for less than 1/3 the price of the other things brought up so far?

If there is a method of cutting, crossing and soldering wires to get the DVD player working then I'm all for that. I figure that there must be at least two wires that "stimulate" the DVD player and make it turn off. One has to do with the parking light, the other with the speedometer. Lets get our minds together and figure this out, the "lockpick" company has, so it is possible.

I have been wondering why anyone would spend that much for the lockpick. Granted you do get the extra monitor cables, but come on, you could buy two portable DVD players for that price. I'm not even considering the lockpick.

I just installed lockpick and works great. had a few minor issues they helped me with but now everything works. going to install backup cam. i also use the bluetooth to run phone thru syst...can't do that with 2 portable dvd players.

Great idea...we don't have enough problems with people using their cell phones while driving, this ought to make the commute to work just that much more entertaining.

mine works fine
i had a set of dvd players that you see all the time in soccer mom cars you know the two screens that hang on the headrests. took the one that didnt have the dvd player it was just a screen and pluged the video pins on the back of the stock radio in and it works when im driving no extras just the two pins from the radio to the screen and it works great.
