Any recommendation which audio shop? Can AutoBarn do it?

I suspect that the HU is also connected in some way to a speed sensing switch. My MY11 Ody Lux plays DVD's just fine with the hand (foot) brake off, however the video image gray's out once I'm going over 5 kph and then resumes once I drop below 5 kph. I believe this will complicate things some what. I'm hoping there is some magical key press combination to bypass this.

If it's related to speed then the easiest option is to replace the damn thing......
good luck.
That's the way i would go. Got a 10.4" DVD screen mounted on the roof. That front HU would be too small and only 1 person in the 2nd would be able to view it comfortablly. With a roof mount everyone from the 2nd row can enjoy. Also if you get a 2nd monitor, the audio shop would have to remove the HU anyway, they might be more inclined to charge cheaper to install the bypass switch.
And even if they can't put in the switch for some reason, your passengers in the rear can still enjoy the DVD.
Forgot to add that this will only work if your HU has got audio and video output and it doesn't chop off the video feed when the car moves.
