Play DVDs thru the Navigation Display

I can view DVDs through both the rear seat entertainment system and the front seat navigation display as long as the vehicle's gear shift is in the PARK position. As soon as I move the gear shift lever out of the PARK position the DVD picture disappears from the Navigation Screen, but continues to play through the rear seat lcd display. Presumably this is a safety feature, however it is inconvenient for the front seat passenger not to be able to view the DVD video. Does anyone know of a workaround or a way to disable the lockout feature on the front Navigation screen so that the video continues to be displayed while the vehicle's gear shift lever is in the DRIVE position. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks :cheers:

There is a way for the GMT 800 navigation, but I duno of one for the GMT 900 navigation. I don't really understand why you would want that option anyway. It's not legal (in most states) to drive down the road and watch a movie!!

Try disconnecting the speed sensor wire in the back of the NAV unit.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram?

 

Usually you have to mess with a couple wires. The speed and the signal from the brake.

 

I want to hack it too.

If it does it as soon as you take it out of park im sure its a canbus or GMLan command instead of a VSS

FWIW

Only the NAV radio on the 07 with RSE have this feature.

NAV radio only will not play a DVD in the DVD slot.

 

 

 

 

I do have the RSE. I don't think it would play in the park position if I didn't, do you?

It would not play in park if you did not have that feature. I am also very interested in figuring out how this is done.

so with my 2005 Tahoe with navigation is there a way to have DVDs play on the screen without adding another dvd drive?

 

 

 

 

I'm a little curious about this as well...I just didn't want to ask, because it's not like it's hard to grab a DVD and walk out to the truck and check. :cheers:

wont work on the -900's.

 

No VSS wire going into the nav unit. It gets VSS data thru the low speed GMLAN bus.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
