ok so hooking up a portable hard drive via usb to play movies on the dash screen doesnt work - what other options do i have to watch movies on my sync? cant use iphone cause its only 16 gig- I wanna load up a external hard drive with movies and use that, is this possible??

 

Look for the sync lockpick option....insert disc and drive....thats the only way.....music only from external sources....

 

what the hell is the sync lockpick option??

 

The factory system disables certain functions of your entertainment system if you are in motion and traveling over 5mph.. For instances, you put a DVD in the system (if you have the nav. unit) and start to watch a movie. Then you start to move, if you go over 5mph., the screen will go back to the default screen (the one you see as you drive) and you'll just here the sound. That's just one example. The Lockpick is an aftermarket device that you need to purchase and install into the wireing harness. There are other devices out there, but the Lockpick seems to be the most well known. You need to remove your center dash trim pieces to access your unit and wireing harness. I don't know much more then that. I looked into it but really didn't like the idea of tearing my dash apart and fooling around with the wireing. There may also be some warranty issues? Hope that helps some......
