Video in Motion...?

Since GM didn't offer the RSE (rear seat entertainment) for the 19+ trucks, has anyone found a way to add video to factory screen?  I am been talking with the guys at MVI (gm-navigation.com) about using the front camera option, which would allow me to come out of the module with an HDMI, but am unsure.  It isn't a desired function and I have a few concerns.  I want my passengers to be able to watch video (either adding a blu-ray player or screen mirror from a phone).

GM accessories has rear seat infotainment.  An iPad and tablet mount would be cheaper though.

Seems pricey.  I was hoping for something that would integrate into the factory stereo, similar to the previous body style.  We also wanted the video to be viewable from the front seats (passenger, etc.).

Same setup here for 500 less

I still cannot see that on the front screen.  I’m looking for something that will play video on the front screen.

Don't bother....the resolution is garbage.

Resolution is probably 720.  It better than DVD quality and should show a blu-ray just fine seeing as it’s only 8”.

I have an Mvi system on my 18 Sierra.  My picture is great for dvd,  firestick, and cameras.

Yes, I had their system in my ‘15 Sierra and we have one in our ‘19 Tahoe, but nothing for the new Infotainment system.

They were telling me about a front camera option that has an HDMI input but their site has been down for a few days.

Not to be a downer, but if you figure this out you better remember to turn it off if you get pulled over. There is a reason that auto manufactures lock this out on the front screen.

Agreed.... this is as bad if not worse than fumbling around on your phone in many areas.  Generally around 250 bucks 

 

As a biker, I also cringe at this

Do you ever drive over the posted speed limit?  Because you get a ticket for that too.

 

I've actually had front seat video capability in my vehicles for the past 20+ years...since I had my 2nd car when I was 18.  I'm pretty versed on the laws and what I have to do if I get pulled over.

Sure do, doesn't make it right.

 

Video playing on a screen, ie distracted driving, is more dangerous than speeding.

Just the opposite for me.  I've had front seat video capability in every vehicles I've owned for the past 20 years.  I tend to speed and change lanes alot, but throw on a video and it calms me down.  I don't really watch it as much as I do listen.  Not sure why, but its different than plain music.

Just the opposite for me.  I would say I am less distracted with a video playing.  I tend to speed and change lanes alot, but throw on a video and it calms me down.  I don't really watch it as much as I do listen.  Not sure why, but its different than plain music.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
