IIRC The Evoque is the first car in the UK where being able to watch video files is a standard fitting on all the UK spec models - all versions have a video capable screen and all have the iPod connectivity and USB as standard - maybe LR is trying to deny the hackers their spot of fun!

I knew I loved this car.

i'm i correct in saying that when the car is moving over 5mph, the screen still shows the DVD, but in black & white ? (sound stays the same).
In other cars the sensor to switch on/off the screen when moveing is on the hand brake (hand brake on to watch TV). This could be overcome with a DIY cable fix (not to be used on the road!). But if the Evoque sensors speed of over 5mph, it must be using the GPS speed from the sat-nav. Any one knows if this it correct ?

good question, I would be interested in finding out of this can be disabled to allow playing video when on the move.... not that I as driver would watch but to allow video for the passengers when not having the dual view screen.

Are you saying black & white video is less distracting than colour?
No, the screen is black altogether and no moving image is shown at all, just the sound.
I have the same functionality in my Lexus and I've never seen a software hack / hardware fix for it. Doesn't it use wheel speed instead of GPS?

IF I switch off the dual view and use it in single screen mode yes the screen goes black once the car starts moving,it's also why you cannot receive TEXT and SMS on the screen and why on some cars you cannot program the satnav on the move, because the legal bods in the software makers consider it to be too much of a distraction while driving. If you search the internet you will find that you can find hacks to enable video in motion for the system, but I don't know anything about how to fit them or how to obtain them, just read about them on other forums. It didn't take LR long to find out that Nav on the Move could easily be hacked into to disable it so they made it an upgrade and why you have the warning screen that comes up first before you can use the satnav - it gets them out of a grey-area legal situation.

in the Aussie price list it looks like DVD is only with the Sat Nav (note that none of our cars come with Sat Nav standard)

"Lowly"!
To me, "lowly" refers to something inferior.
Lower in price maybe! The Pure might be more basic but sometimes a minimalistic approach may just result in a classier end result with a more timeless appeal. At the end of the day, given the hundreds of thousands of choices allowable on the Evoque there will definitely be some permutations that do not work. This explains why some posters are changing their orders or asking those "will this contrast roof work with...".
I'll have a lowly Pure over a Franken-Rover with clashing color schemes any day
PS- No offense Cjfp, I'm sure I know what you meant yet it got me thinking

@evoqess - I was only joking, I have a pure on order myself. I was merely laughing at bobm4n phrasing of it 'being available on a dynamic' - and I'm not saying that he said that to cause offence either, it was just how I read it

Just referring to the thread title....
