are you saying you took something like these in this photo and unplugged the video wire inside that comes off the LCD and ran it to the factory player??
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.

yes i took a snowboarding trip to granite peak and my son watched movies the whole way there just got some small speaker mounts and put it above the rear mirror no hundreds of dollars converter just a wire from the 6 & 7 pin i think those where the pins and to the video plug on the screen works great cost nothing since i already had the screens

I've been wondering about this. Is there a difference between the auto and the 6spd. With the 6 spd for DVD to play you must have the parking brake engaged. This is different than the auto's apparently, (at least according to the mygig owners manual).
For those of with a 6spd couldn't we just rig something on the e-brake idicator circuit? I imagine the switch is close to the e-brake lever, like most cars.
For those of you with lockpick etc. Did you have to specify manual or auto trans before ordering? If so I'd wager my theory may work.
Only one way to find out...
Thoughs? Anyone tried this already?

That wont work the CANBUS also relays back to the mygig if any of the 4 tires are spinning. So just hacking the wire for the parking brake will not bypass it. There is a reason the Lockpick is $300 because it works! I have it and it is still one of my favorite mods... I added the backup cam (for $30 bucks off of Ebay) the Uconnect hands free mic for $40 from costaltech and some time I might add some video screens in the head rests....but that's down the road...
Do yourself a favor and get the Lockpick and unlock the power of the MyGig that Chrysler should have given you in the first place...

I have a 6 spd, but will only play audio no matter what I'm doing. (sitting in driveway, driving, ebrake on/off, etc...). Is there something in the settings that I'm missing to get video?
