BRZ NAV unit play DVDs when in park?
 

Did a search and came up no results found. Anybody know off hand if it does?

Update: I read the nav unit owners manual and there was nothing about DVD compatibility. Oh well, would have been nice but that's not what I'm buying the car for. :burnrubber:

Video playback off SD maybe, I doubt it would have DVD

I would be surprised if it has DVD playback.

it plays divx, wmv, and mp4 files on USB devices

Awesome, a friend had that feature but i think with dvds in his scion tc.

has anyone rewired or flashed it to play while not in a stop position?

Usually it's just a matter of finding the signal that goes into the radio from the ebrake and grounding it.

:thumbup:

I'm totally haxxing my BRZ to do this lol.

I still plan to do a mod from my ipod to the nav. to play movies off it (unless that's capable already) or I'll just wait until someone else figures out how to make this happen too.

I don't think it's as simple as the E brake wire. I searched a bunch online in 2012 Impreza and Forester forums and couldn't find where anyone had defeated it yet. Since it's nav I bet they use the vehicle speed sensor as well. Cutting this plus the E brake would probably do it, but it'll reduce the nav's ability quite a bit.

I know for a fact the Canadian pioneer units can, guess you Americans got the short end if the stick for once... Sounds like your head units are crap, I got absolutely zero complaints when it come to mine, even coming from high end alpine units :)

I put some files on a USB card but can't seem to see them on the USA head unit. I put an AVi DivX file and MP4. None worked.

Avi DivX and mp4 files work for me from my USB thumbdrive, when my e-brake is up.
