I have a 2016 limited with sync3 no nav and I put in a dvd to see if it would play but it would not. Do I have to have nav for the screen to play movies?

Even with the navigation it wont play DVD's. It a huge liability issue if Ford allowed that. Distracted driving is bad enough with cell phones.

Can you imagine the increase in accidents if people were watching movies while driving?

Thats what IPads are for. Uh...a friend told me.

I used to have head unit that was just a knockout for functionality. It had video inputs, 3 video outputs (RCA), DVD, MPeg, rear camera input, and a really nice Nav system. And for a year, it was great. Then the screen blacked out. Still funcitonal as a touchscreen, just no image.

First thing I did with our '12 KR was to install a Lockpick in the vehicle. Enter information into GPS while in motion, turn on rear camera while driving to check on the trailer I'm pulling, and co pilot can watch a movie or a tv episode while I'm driving. Great unit, not a bit of problem with it since purchase

This has been my biggest complaint with all GPS gear, whether in our Expy or the TomTom we use in our pickup. Wifey is the co-pilot and navigator and it gripes me to have to stop so SHE can make changes in our route. The TomTom will now (I guess after the latest software upgrade) allow the person fiddling with it to say "I'm not the driver" (an obvious CYA by TomTom) and make necessary changes while under way.
