Help bypassing video restriction when in motion

So my ps2 is all hooked up in the glove box which is quite cool, but my passengers are upset they can't play while we're driving. I know there's a way to bypass the parking brake sensor and the vehicle motion sensor, but i'd rather get some advice from someone who's done it before i start poking around. Can someone give me a detailed description of how they did this? Thanks for the help!!! I have an 08 X Sedan if that makes a difference.

oh, and yes i do realize this is illegal. but thanks mom.

I can't help you since the discussion of this matter is prohibited.

I'd do it if it was freely discussed but I don't really have the urge to watch videos while my car is in motion.

why is discussion of this prohibited? having super-dark tints is also illegal, but it wouldnt stop us from telling someone how to tint their windows would it?

I'd like to have video in motion too. . .but as you will soon see the dictator will end this thread or it will get bashed by people on their high horse shaking their finger and saying "well i really hope we're not sharing the same roads if you're watching video in motion!"

ive already seen a thread where someone mentioned a way to have your rear-view camera feed show even while driving forward. wouldnt this basically be categorized as the same type of thing?

as for ppl saying they wouldnt wanna be on the same road, etc.... i already see tons of cars on the road every day that have in-dash dvd players, visor monitors, etc. hell, i had visor monitors in my last car. you learn to ignore them and just let your passengers enjoy them.

This has been discussed time and time again here, but I'll go through it again.

It's very simple. The staff and owner of the forum simply do not condone the bypass of a safety feature that has been implemented by the manufacturer. Watching video will driving is an obvious safety risk to both the driver and everyone else on the road......and quite frankly, G35Driver wants no part of it. Simple as that.

Whether you agree with the decision or not is quite irrelevant, no further discussion here will change the staff's decision. So if you have any additional comments on this feel free to PM me.
