Yea we have property 5 hours from houston and my wife and i like to put on a movie while we drive down there it helps pass the time. The trick is to watch a movie that you have seen before that way the driver can watch the road and listen to the movie rather than try to watch it so as not to miss anything. I would never watch a movie i had never seen while driving. Unless i really wanted to see it
but then again a mother #$@@#@ broke into my car and stole my alpine dvd head unit so i won't watch anymore movies till i get my evo and do this

that is exactly why. I would like to use it for my kids. I do a 5 hour trip once every fiew months and its kinda nice for the kids in the back since i don't have anything to setup back there.

I'll use my favorite Jack Handy quote here: "Because you touch yourself at night".
Who the cares why they *want* (not "need") a DVD that plays while they're driving?
You don't NEED a boost controller, exhause, intake, larger turbo, etc., etc., either.
But to humor you:
-Long trips for the passengers
-Car events while you're waiting in your car
-Maybe he takes a lunch break at work and wants to unwind
-Maybe he's a car-show guy
-Maybe he just *WANTS* to be able to do it whether he uses it or not
Why do *YOU* need an Evo? Why isn't a Rabbit GTI just as good as it'll get you from point A to point B? How about a base-model Civic?
Sheesh.

I think the big draw for me would be the use of the AUX video input for systems like HKS CAMP while driving. Virtual gauges look pretty. I wouldn't be overly interested in how much I'm boosting at a stop light.
However, since I don't get the MMCS in the Canadian X, it doesn't really matter for me...
