A few weeks ago I traded in my 2003 Vette in on a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT. Though I miss my Vette (traded in due to spousal pressure), I am very happy with my new car. One thing I have been playing with is the Stereo (if you can still call it that in these new cars). I tapped into the rear video/audio input and hooked it to the output from my PC and here is what I got.
One problem in what is called VIM (Vehicle in Motion). It turnes off the video above 5 mph. This is a safety device so we can't watch chick flixs (yea, thats what we would watch) while we drive down the road.
However, my goal is to set up a laptop in the trunk and use a wireless keyboard. This way I could run the HP tuners Scanner as well as a GPS map program.
Many with a G8 are working on disabling the VIM but no solution yet. Since the HP Tuners community is the best out there at figuring out GM electronic controls, I thought someone here might take a swing at it. People are talking about spending $400+ for a solution from Australia but it has never been tested on a G8. If someone could figure this out, they could make a pretty penny. However, a software upgrade to HP Tuners that could do it would suit me fine.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
