Most Audi and BMW does have a option to view TV when having navigation. Is this possible for the PCM? I guess you need a tuner to get the signals.

Nice to have when driving in queue.

 

I doubt ANYONE'S system allows the TV to be active on the Nav. screen while driving.
For one thing, it's probably illegal. And if it is'nt , it should be .

Sometimes just using the map feature on my Nav. is very distracting .
(The damn thing is like a magnet )

 

agree with you that TV while driving is DEADLY. but i do know NAV-TV units can be used while driving (may require some extra wiring).

 

The visual on a the 997 s/b the road and the audio s/b the motor/exhaust.

If you want to watch a movie do in the comfort of your home or at a theater.

If you had a sedan or SUV viewing DVDs from the rear seats is fine. Great for the kids on longer rides.

Just my 2 cents.

 

When I am in Japan I see many people watching tv in their cars. Seems crazy to me everytime I see it. I can't imagine that it would be very safe in a 997.

 

My brother in law does it in Japan, it is illegal. Trouble is you see so few police in Japan and you would have to be a knucklehead to keep it on if you got pulled over.

It is illegal here in Ca....it can play on the rear entertainment setup but not the front.

Geez...who in is right mind would want to watch TV while driving?Like talking on the cell phone while driving wasn't bad enough.

 

To make matters worse, I was with my wife and 2 kids (3 and 6) and there was some guy in a Ford Expedition next to me with the rear DVD setup and he had **** playing...everyone was watching the **** in the backseat. My 6 yr. old was like "daddy what are they doing on the TV..they are naked". I didn't know how to answer him...

Dave

 

Whoa...that's messed up.

 

Whoa, aren't there anymore decency left?

 

You have to be creative in a situation such as that.

You could have explained that due to the speed of the vehicle it blew off their clothing!

 

LOL, it was an Expedition...

 

frafoss, it must be obvious that the drivers in Europe are much better drivers over here in the USA! Which is why it is a factory option over there on your Audi's and BMW's, and over here you have send away for the Euro Spec tuner.


Seriously though to answer your question, there is one for the cayenne, however nothing for the sports car, the unit does not support a video input or the necessary protocols to allow the PCM to generate a picture. Sure i have done it a few times, recently did one on a new Turbo for a friend of mine.

 

To clear some air here. I'm not thinking of driving and seeing tv. In Europe the TV signal automatic turn off when car is driving more than 5 km. This is not ment for entertainment when driving, but a nice thing to have when STANDING in queue.

One more thing, I don't think Europeian driver in general are better drivers than US. Good and bad drivers everywhere.
