Help hacking the RT3 video mode

This is the RT3 unit and was made by Magneti Marelli
The RT3 was available in a few different hardware versions, the later ones supporting MP3 playback. These units had an optical connection to the Display Screen.

It's a safety feature / system designed to block the moving picture at anything over crawling speed. We won't advise you here on how to disable it as that would be irresponsible and is likely to contravene laws.

That's probably better.

If you had a crash and the investigation turned up you had a movie playing on your screen - you would not only probably have your car insurance declined, but could also be sued by a third party and possibly banned from driving / fined / imprisoned depending on the severity on any incident or if there were fatalities.

So it could be seen as the same consequence of disabling the brakes, because brakes are no good if you don't use them because you were distracted by watching a movie...
