Tell your kid to watch something on his iPad - it is completely moronic to watch a DVD while the car is moving, whether you're in Europe or any other country. You may likely become a statistic or looking at it positively, an organ donor.

Search the site using "VIM" and "vehicle in motion". There were instructions soon after the C7 was sold.

Enabling VIM will require a VCDS cable and Vag-Com software.
Note that while there is no question a driver trying to watch a video while driving is dangerous (and illegal in most states in the US), there are some valid uses. For example, listening to music videos or for a front passenger to watch a video. I have VIM enabled for the first reason, nevertheless, very rarely do I use it.

This... It takes all of 5 minutes once you get the cable. I had it done in my A7... For the kid... For the kid...

BTW Avengers sounds sublime in the A7...

Here's how (under 3G or 4G for >2016)
