This does not work on all xdvd8181 models.. give it a try though if you hate that blue screen that keeps you from having ( your passengers) watch movies..
remember, it is ILLEGAL TO HAVE A SCREEN WHERE THE DRIVER CAN SEE IT in most states, exept for navigation screens. so DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
- first thing... make sure the parking brake cable is grounded.
- Insert a DVD and let it play.
- As soon as you hear sound, press stop TWICE.
- Enter code 26604
- Press enter
Good luck and be safe! movies are distracting while you drive...

 

Would it just be easier to ground the parking brake wire?

 

yes but u can only watch dvds while emergency brake is engaged

 

And then?

 

hey man im as newb as they come and i have the dual xdvd8180 i think, and i just hooked up a switch to the parking brake wire coming out of the deck, it was really easy and i even mounted the switch right below the TCS and cruise control button. i love it this way, can put up some pics if you like, just pm me

 

yea that works good too, i tried doing that the first time but when i started the car again the blue screen wouldnt go away.. so i put in that code and it works good. i like to be able to play dvds while i drive because i travel alot, im in the military and i want my girl to watch movies instead of talk to me all the time..
