I can't think of a time I'd actually want this.

 

I can do it in my car, as I have Miracast in there for Waze on the factory Nav, yet have never had a reason to put a video up there.  I'm not watching a video driving; my passengers can use their phones/tablets to do so.  Anything I need on the screen is via Android Auto.

It would be cool to make a playlist of music videos so passengers could see and you would have the music to listen to while driving. Cool idea I’d be very interested if someone knew how to do this ona factory deck.

Having a movie playing on the dash while driving will result in distracted driving.  I don't believe many can play a movie c/w soundtrack on a screen next to them and give complete, undivided attention to their driving.  I often try answering my emails while my wife is watching "her shows" in the same room.  Or, the same often happens early in the morning with the grandkids.  There is or will be a sound cue that will draw your attention to the screen, no matter how bad the show!   It could prove convenient while parked or on a ferry but as said earlier most carry a phone and usually travel with a tablet or laptop.  This modification can be done but I believe there are much more useful upgrades worth consideration. (360 degree camera system has my attention!)

Not bad actually. One could use that and have the maps and other apps stream from my cell. Then lc6 out to amps. Awesomeness!

Another feature my phone provides at no additional cost, through direct tv. I sometimes have the Astros game going driving across country. Not watching but listening the wife is watching. Same with Netflix.

I did mine for my kids. It was way cheaper than rear seat monitors. And, i also have the 360* camera system. I can also hook my camera to the hdmi cable so i can mirror whatever is on my phone. It also charges my phone at the same time too.

That’s an accident waiting to happen along with considerable legal implications. What do you do when you’re traveling and need to use your home screen etc?

 

You can buy the in headrests setup with nicer viewing, bluetooth or wired setup so you don’t have to listen and be distracted as well and much happier kids in the back not having to squint or use binoculars in order to view.

 

 

In addition, iPads can be uploaded with movies and cellphones with LTE can easily watch live shows through your television services

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
