    I'm curious if you can play a dvd to only listen to the audio and not watch the video while driving on the advanced package plug in?

    In another post, I read that you can't play the dvd unless the car is not moving and the parking brake is on.

    Mostly I would like to know, because I have several dvds of lectures, that I would like to listen to while driving.

    Thanks :)

    It should. Both my 2008 Sienna and 2012 HyCam just cuts off video on the Nav screen when you disengage the parking brake.

    Yes you can. I was listening to a DVD movie while in motion just fine. It just shows a blue screen with a sign through it for video, but the audio plays without a problem.

    Thanks - one more question- while you are listening to the audio of the dvd, at the same time, can you also use the Nav to get directions to a destination?

    Thanks bunches :)
