just ground the wire that you are supposed to hook to the parking break and it will always play movies.

I have a JVC touchscreen nav unit that works quite well, especially the BT connection to my iPhone. It actually makes the factory speakers sound pretty darn good! Of course, I'm not the kind of guy who plays music so loud the neighbors can hear the bass inside their houses. Hate that!

how did you get the radio to fit in the dash? dremel tool? i was also thinking of hooking up the camera to a 3 way switch so i can turn it on while going down the road to check on things back there, one way it hooked up to the reverse lights the middle off, and forward so it manually turns on.. think it would work?
