Which DVD player was it? The one in front or do you have the uConnect Studios with the rear DVD player? If it is the front radio, was the truck in park?

I think it's a good think you can only watch it in park. Not that I understand why anyone would want to watch a DVD in their dash whether parked or driving. Anyway, I am glad it still plays the audio while you're driving. Then you can pop a good stand-up comedian in there and be able to listen to him/her. No need to watch someone talk really.

The DVD lock doesn't really bother me, but the restrictions on the Nav while in motion really gets my goat. I can understand that you probably shouldn't be typing in a name while driving, but if you've got a passenger, they should be able to access all the Nav functions. So, it'll be because of the Nav that I eventually get a LockPick.

Oh, and you don't have to have the E Brake on for the DVD, just be in park.

I don't think anyone (even stupid people) would turn a DVD on while they are driving by themselves ... sooo if a DVD is playing it would be most likely for someone else in the truck

what I also don't like is that you have reach over to press the uconnect phone button, it should be on the driver side, or on the steering wheel.

Yea, don't even get me started on the steering wheel controls. Probably the worst designed part of the truck, at least in my opinion.
