While I'm not a DVD guy, I installed a switch to handle the e-brake sensor input and safety nag. If my passenger wants to watch a video, now she can.

I didnt get the e-brake sensor stuff...mostly just me in the car...rarely passengers unless its a short trip to town...hope i dont regret it!

Satellite radio has changed my listening habits -- I'm practically allergic to regular FM now!
