Odyssey MY11 Luxury - Play DVD While Driving

No, there's only 1 screen which is in the dasboard shared with GPS. How is your bypass switch look? Just a button in the unit?

Its a switch on the dash, like what Phillip described.

So when you park brake is off, does it just not show the movie, but you still can control and hear it or does the unit not allow you to see, hear and control the unit totally.

If it is the former, just hook up another monitor to the HU at the rear.. better viewing for the rear passengers anyway

If it is the later, then I would say it is a pretty crap unit and the bypass switch might be the only way, but you should still consider getting a rear screen. doesn't need to be flash or too big.

It's the former, ie the screen does not show movie - but can still hear the sound and control it. So do you think I can just purchase another monitor? Where should I install it? in the rooftop?

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.
