![Question](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Sorry to bump this back up, but I didn't wanna start a new thread on something thats been talked about already.
My question is for owners or users of the Alpine W200. I've been messing around with my friends in his Mazda and I'm pleased with the iPod functions.
My only other question is.... does this unit have the ability to lets say "play music and have navi on" or "Music & Video Game" or Music playing while DVD plays (muzic through iPod of course). This was a feature my Anniver Kenwood had and I loved it. I would sort of use a dvd playing as a "live background" if you will or my boy would play PS2 while I drove and listened to music. If not I may just go with the 7" Kenwood.....
Can anyone confirm this?

So with the Alpine this only works like that for rear screens if you have them?
Also w/ the alpine what is the purpose of that visual button. Is it just to make the screen blank for security reason?

Brake Bypass... lol
My boy somehow created his own brake/video bypass. He takes this long yellow wire that goes up behind his dash and he does the lil ritual where he shkes his head, taps his dash, then taps the brake, then taps the O-ring to the Cig lighter and presto
(order may vary)!! He can drive with dvd.... lol. Serious!!

LMAO..... Well he and a friend did the install and I think neither one of them had the sense to look up info on how to bypass that feature. I guess he's content with his way now, because I mentioned the bypass cause i will be getting it and he doesn't seem to care about getting one.
