Whoever posted about the dvd and how to get it to play in motion is my question also. Great option but i dont know who would not wanna mod that. Same thing with the navigators you need to stop for the navi screen to unlock my mans got one and got a reversable switch or sumin so if hes in park it dont work lol but if he needs to use it in park he leaves the car in nuetral and puts the e brake on which isnt that bad because in the navi its linked to the tranny from what he told me so you just got to trick it. Hopefully i got some extra money when i get the car so i can put the 2 tvs in the headrest and link them to the mark levinson dvd player instead of routing them to a ps2. Another option is have the ps2 and then link them to the cars dvd player but have a switch when you want to watch movies you can be on say "a" and when you wanna play ps2 you are on "b". Also in that situation you can have the navi map on ur in-dash screen hit "b" and let the people in the back either watch a movie or play so i think thats what i am defiantly going to look into doing. Any comments or ideas?

Could the difference in octane and quality of gas have such a big role on the fuel economy? In the Crown, the 3GR is rated at about the equivalent of 27mpg (after converting from the Japanese system). Is the Japanese rating *possibly* based on highway economy?

there actually isn't a hand parking brake, it's a foot parking brake, so it might be more difficult to mod.

You dummy. You cant watch a DVD while youre driving, you can only watch it while the car is in park. they do this to prevent accidents. Plus how can you watch a DVD while the Navigation is on? Dont u know anything about cars? Get a life.

You're only driving in city streets. That's not long enough to justify watching a whole 2 hour movie for 2 blocks in my opinion.

Was the "get a life" comment necessary? It would be like me telling you to take reading comprehension classes...that would be uncalled for. I am sure you are brilliant in your non-Club-Lexus life.
