RNS 510 DVD Playback Tip

[xxx_mojo_xxx]

Playback working everytime - just had to wait for the announcement after pressing the "i" button before going to the "Tone" button.  All good...

Question:  There's been mention of a possible slow-drain in voltage in some cars... how do I check for that? Thanks in advance.

P.S.  If I wanted to revert back to the original firmware - where can I get that from?

HELP: DVD playback while driving is no longer working after updating to firmware 2720.  Any one figured out how to get it working on this firmware release?

Thanks in advance.

Just sent my RNS off to have the VIM put on,  apparently its actually unlockabe in the units eprom but you need special equipment to unlock it.  

Just at this moment its a bit of a secret but I will let on once I can.

Sorry

Where do I need to go to get this done?  Is their any downside/adverse impact of having this done?

mojo, I thought you had it working? I tried all sorts at first and I couldn't get it to work. I was doing it wrong, and I tried everything except the right way. This works everytime for me,

1)Play a DVD and get it to the correct volume.  (if you alter the volume it will bring up the settings page and you will have to stop the car again and repeat)

2)Start the car moving and then when the screen goes black.

3)Pull up at the side of the road. (The DVD will start to play again)

4)Press the "i" button (just for a milli-second) and Mrs Sat-Nav will start to say something.

5)Immediately press the "TONE" button. (this will make a beep)

6)Set off again with the DVD playing 

.....p.s...If you do access another display page other than the DVD, it will reset. So then you have to go back to number 3).

Also, I think it is very handy to have this feature as is. I'm not sure if its legal to have a DVD playing whilst driving, but should someone notice, (rozzers) you can quickly adjust the volume and it will reset. Then if you need to prove that it won't play when moving... just set off and it will show the black screen.

Had to send my unit off, no freaky side affects  pays ya money and it comes back with video in motion built in, no external modules.

Ill see if he will let me tell people the company name...keep you all posted.

Monte...I had it working without any issues until I upgraded to firmware 2720. 

I press the "i" button followed by the "Tone" button and get the tone to indicate the hack...but when I drive off the DVD display blanks out.... very frustrating!!!
