Thank goodness -- If you're playing video, I don't want to meet you driving down the road. Truly, maybe YOU wouldn't play it while driving, but there's certainly a lot of boneheads who would.

 

How about thru apple carplay?

 

You can play videos by loading them onto a USB stick and plugging that into a USB port in the CRV. You'll have to navigate to the gallery app and play the video that way. The video playback functionality stops once the car is in motion however, there are ways to get around that as well.

 

Why on earth would you want to get around a block on playing video while the car is running?

 

Mainly for the passengers on a long road trip. Of course, as a responsible adult, I would choose to stay focused on the road and not the movie playing.

Please PM me on how to do this.........Want to do this for the kids and been trying to figure in the hidden menu. Canot find it.......Help please. Will prevent me from spending hundreds of dollars on an Entertainment system

Thanks

 

You have to disable the DD VSP Error setting. Give me a day and I'll send you detailed instructions.

 

DD VSP error setting wont work on 17CRV. Honda had patched the loop hole.

 

Be careful if you disable this safety feature as many states have laws against any video device being used in the driver's line of sight or in the front seats of the vehicle. There can be steep fines if you're caught doing this.

 

Having a video playing in your field of vision WILL be a distraction, no matter how much you concentrate. You're still human. Moreover, if you're involved in a serious accident and the insurance investigator chooses to scrutinize the car, you will probably open yourself up to serious legal liability. Lastly, you bought a well-engineered car — instead of hacking into it and defeating safety systems, spend the money for a proper back seat video player (it's not that much) or just get them a tablet, or even a book.

 

Wow, a book! What a concept for a kid these days. Most kids riding in a car today don't even look out the windows, just down to whatever device they are holding in their hands. Agree 100% with you.

 

If you were able to figure this out please get with me also. I am taking my son back and forth to Boston Children's Hospital and its about a 8 hour drive. This would pass the time for him or my wife. Thanks in advance!

 

I have been in your shoes. A portable DVD player would be much easier for your son to view -- a couple of hours with him leaning over for viewing isn't going to be comfortable. It would also allow him to take the player into the hospital for entertainment/distraction during typically long wait times and any inpatient treatment.

Better yet...a small tablet can play video and have gaming options as well.

From a safety standpoint, the idea of streaming through the control panel is ludicrous. You don't need ANY unnecessary distractions, no matter how small.

 

A search on Amazon for Bluray player with screen had multiple options under $200, some under $100. Seems like a much better solution than having a video playing on the nav screen. And their screens are bigger than 7 inches.

 

Is there a factory integrated rear seat dvd system available?

 

What would be the benefit to paying 10x the price of a nice tablet? There are many inexpensive DVD/tablet holders that will mount the unit on the back of the front seats.

 

apparently there is another trick to get Gallery or browser to stayed on the display while in gear. At other forum (civicx.com url:http://www.civicx.com/threads/2016-civic-ex-na-finally-video-while-driving.9983/), someone found a new way to do it. I have had tried it (for crv just have to follow step #10~16). The poster make a mistake on the apk name on step 13 and 14, it should be whitelistapservice apk

 

If someone tries this, can you confirm that you can use an animated wallpaper and have it displayed while you drive? By default, you can use an animated one, but it only works when you're not moving. So, pretty useless.

That's the only reason I'd bother with this hack.

 

I've heard having video that the driver can see is illegal while driving. But I'd also heard that wearing headphones while driving was illegal (it's ok in most states including NC) and I'd always heard driving barefoot was illegal (also not true). So I'm not sure of anything.

 

In Canada it's illegal for the driver to watch a video while the car is in motion.

 

Listen to book CD's

Just purchased 2017 CRV Touring. Since there is no CD player in many cars anymore I need to find a way to listen to book cd's while on a trip. I would check out an audio book / cd from library, but don't particularly want to rip the whole pile of cd's and put in iTunes. What formats can I put on a thumb drive and play through the USB port? It wouldn't seem to be a lot of trouble to perhaps somehow 'copy' the cds to a large thumb drive for instance if that can be done AND such a format is playable through sound system.

My other thought was to purchase a small portable CD player and plug in the audio output to sound system... But the CRV does not have an audio input...

Any ideas on what to do?

Yes I do....pay attention on driving and watch the videos at home

 

Genesis, perhaps you should actually read a message before you reply to the message.
