Default Playing DVD or Video while driving
Curious to know if anyone purchased a chip or mod that allows video to play while driving on the A6?

If you live in the LA area, I am holding a meetup to perform these mods for fellow Audi owners: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...php?p=24344944

I enabled it and just found out how to access it thanks to some other AudiWorlders. To be honest I don't know what you can do with it yet.

It's funny, thought when I added the VIM from the Vag it would be a great addition and yet, I've never once put a DVD in the drive and watched it while driving. I figure I'd use it for the kids, but never have.

What would be great is if you could get a TV signal and at least watch/listen to the news...

I use VIM to allow for bluetooth streaming music videos from my iPhone. I listen but obviously, don't watch when driving.

Same here, even music videos on the iphone I've never bothered playing while driving. I guess I added it just to say I can do it.
