MVI Video in Motion Add-on Module

[z71camaro]

Anybody have one of these? If so, any downsides or side effects? Is it truly plug and play?

 

I've read through every page I could find in all of the MVI threads and know every spec of the reprograms, but could not find info on just the add on modules.

 

Thanks

I just upgraded my 2014 to the newest GMC Intellilink with Apple CarPlay. MVI makes it really easy. Super plug and play. Install took me 20 minutes. They send great directions with links to videos.

 

Text Anthony Brush his username is MVI on the forums. His phone number is listed. He will help you out.

Did you use just the module or send the new one for reprogram?

They sent me newly reprogrammed modules, I swapped them in. And I sent back my old ones for a core credit. (Still waiting on the core credit, but he said it can take around 2 weeks).

This one? Any downsides or side effects like battery drainage or delays?

I'm specifically asking about the add on module that just unlocks video in motion.

I didn't do that one. So I can't comment. Sorry I didn't realize you were asking about that specific feature.

[z71camaro]

No worries, appreciate the info either way.

Video unlock still requires a module swap, or you can send yours in and wait for it to be programmed and sent back.

 

The video unlock feature is OK if your videos work now. I have the latest version and it's still quite picky about the format you use. But if you have videos that work now (while in park) they will work while in motion.

 

The thing I like most about the 'unlock' it is that it unlocks all the other functions that are unavailable while driving, like manual nav entries and other phone functions.

This states it is a plug and play module, not a reprogram swap.

That's correct. You can then send in the old unit for them to resell (depending on which module you have now, they may or may not have a buyer) and get some money back for your old unit.

No. If you open the link I've posted (twice), you will see this option is an add on module. No swap, no reprogram.

Think they have 2 options for bypass, the one linked, you have to turn on every time (plug n play version) then a swap version that is on by default like $100ish more.

[z71camaro]

Correct. I know all about the swap version, looking for experiences with the add on.
