viwa Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) I found a way to trick the system into letting you watch video in front display while driving! think I did something like this First turn on the movie and "show video" in front display, then press menu or the button to get the dvd menu, go to change subtitles. when you are in this menu put the car inte DRIVE and after that if i dont remember wrong it should work and show video in front display while driving but be careful ! its easy to look to much on the movie than on the road, but it can be nice for the passenger to be able to watch EDIT: So now ive tried it some times. This is how to do it 1 put shift in park 2 turn on movie in front, start playing the movie, choose show video. 3 press menu and go into dvd setup 4 turn shift into drive 5 press back 6 enjoy Edited February 15, 2011 by viwa fjlancers and Ric04SiR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubberdude88 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) This is great news. My wife has been asking if she can watch a movie on the way to Florida next year in our 2012 8.4. Going to give it a try tomorrow and will update this post after trying on 2012 model. Awesome find but like other people have said - only for the passenger, of course :-) Edited September 13, 2012 by Rubberdude88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgusto82 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Couldn't wait - just tried it and it worked perfectly on 2012 8.4 fullscreen. Thank you so much. This will make the 22 hour straight drive to Florida bearable for my wife. Kids already have DVD's in the back. Thanks again. Piece of advise.. Most states have some sort of law that prohibits video playback anywhere where it's visible to the driver. Be carefull, state troopers are eager to pull someone over.

AstralRT Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Couldn't wait - just tried it and it worked perfectly on 2012 8.4 fullscreen. Thank you so much. This will make the 22 hour straight drive to Florida bearable for my wife. Kids already have DVD's in the back. Thanks again. I can't get this to work on my 8.4. The DVD setup button is disabled when DVD is playing. Did you follow any different steps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I also can't figure out how to make it work.. I also have a 2012 Journey RT with 8.4N RB5. As soon as I get over 4-5 km per hour it says video is not allowed while car is in motion. I tried a few times, what are we missing??

oracle Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 holy crap this worked perfectly on a '09! I tested it and did not like it!! I found myself way too distracted and almost veering off.. I will crash for sure. I'm not going to use it... But anyway, thanks for the advise.

Eric Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Worked perfect on 2010 Journey But doesn't seem to work on 2013.. Any other solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) I can't believe anyone would think being able to play a DVD on the front screen while driving is a great idea. There's too many distracted drivers as there is. If you want to watch a movie in your Journey sit in the back with the kids, do the rest of us a favor and let someone else drive!

biohazard Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 lol...i think its more about letting the passenger watch instead of starting out the window but i can see how it would be a distraction for the driver as well.... especially night time driving....I peronally dont even want to know if this works on our DJ and wouldnt want the distraction of flickering images while doing 100KM down the highway ...
