nice add on but...would it be just for show tho? because i can't imagine driving at night and watching a movie i'd put that money into performance mods IMO.

EDIT: i just checked your car out on the domain and i see you're into electronics - seems like - so it would be a cool thing as far as what you like.

Honestly, I try not to sit in the car long enough to watch a movie. While driving there is no way I would attempt it

Thats pretty slick no need to spend extra cash on tv screens I say do it up. I dont think it will let you watch movies while driving most of those things have the saftey feature where it won't work while in drive, however I know there is some way to bypass the saftey.

Directly from the NavTool page, "NavTool is video-in-motion enabled, so the video image will stay on the screen even with the car in motion, however we do not recommend doing this." There's also a toggle switch that comes with it that switches it from nav to dvd.

The reason I saw this and immediately wanted to buy is because my kids and I like road trips. I sat in the back seat the other day to see if you could even see the screen from the back and every seat has a nice view of it. No more tacky headrest strap on screens with wires everywhere.
