Watching movies while driving!

There was a software I saw a couple of weeks that allows one to watch movies while driving. Does anyone know the name of the software? Or owns it?

DVDFree from Prochip.

Accessed by a download through your OBD port.

They also do a roof opening software patch call CTMFree (I think thats the spelling)

DVDinmotion is another I think. And then you can have certain Bimmerpost members do the coding directly through the web.

I had mine done, but to be honest, it's a stupid thing to do, and very dangerous.....

Watch movies while you drive? I hope you don't live anywhere near me.

Indeed, it sounds like a great idea until you're in hospital having killed the people in front. There's a reason its disabled.

I have it on my m3 and z4 and not once have I actually used it lol

I really should, considering I take a 100 mile one way drive up to the track at least once a month... and it's a very boring drive....

Its a 2 seater.. how many kids will be watching it??

Fine to entertain kids in the back, that's why 4+ seater cards have screens IN THE BACK, but you should never have distractions near the driver.

While were are at it somone should figure out a way to build in a tiny microwave for our cars. Perhaps a built in ironing board, or a sink. A sink would be cool.

Then every morning, all I have to do is get up, get dressed, get in the car then just pop a muffin in the microwave, wash up and get the wrinkles out of my work shirt while I dodge the idiots not paying attention as they text while driving.


...and I can watch Gladiator, my favorite movie, all at the same time. PERFECT!

Those days are gone when you could have a wet bar. I remember in the 70s in Texas you could tip your beer at the Officer next to you at the red light....then they passed a law that only the passengers could hold an open container....then only the backseat passengers were allowed open containers....and now you get a littering ticket if you flick your cig ashes out the window, have a child in the front seat, distracted driving ticket from eating a sandwich....on and on and on. The days are gone when you could endanger others and yourself without regard.
