Default How can I get the Nav screen to play DVDs while driving?

Hello. I'm a long time lurker, but this is my first post. I recently picked up an '05 LX470 and I'm going to be taking a 2,000 mile road trip in it in a few weeks. I want to alter the nav system so that the passenger can watch a DVD movie while the car is in motion. Yes, I know this is not safe, but I do not plan on watching movies while I am driving. Is there an easy way to disconnect a speed sensor or E-brake sensor to allow me to do this? If there is already a thread about this subject, could someone politely point me in the right direction? Thank you.

P.S. Great forum!

That link talks about a Land Cruiser...is everything the same for a lx470 with a mark leveninson audio? And does the change also allow you to dial the phone while moving greater than 5 mph?

I hope I'm never on the same road as you, watching movies, dialing and talking on the phone while you're driving...

The Nav systems in the LC and LX are identical. I have a Land Cruiser and it's funny, the owner's manual keeps referring to "Your Lexus Navigiation system".
