Do you have a reversing camera installed?

Sorry for late answer. Your "specialist" is wrong. I have the reversing camera and it works fine.

Thanks for the reply Crax.

I'll check into this again then. It's strange though because the device you refer to sold on Ebay looks identical to the cable that the guy tried to fit from ICD & Nav TV - both of which didn't work.

It is maybe an installation problem. What doesn't work?

I installed it myself, not so hard (6 Philips screws to remove), it takes around 15mn to put in place.
Each time you start your car, you still have the motion protection. You have to press "Menu" for 3 secs to unlock.
It look like this.
So you have installed it in an E70 ? Looks like you have to take some of the front dash off from the install instructions... ??

You have to connect it to the main unit which is located at the center bottom of the dash, under the climate control. So you have to remove the center air grill, then the center plastic cover and you gain access to the unit by removing 4 screws.

You're right for the single slot DVD, you need the DVD changer in the glove box to watch DVD's.
The location of the unit should be the same, even if you don't have Nav.

Unlock Front Screen for DVD while Driving

So has anyone out there tried this? Is it possible for an 08 E70 in the US to disable this function and allow play of DVD's on the front screen while driving?
