My 2010 G37 has the DVD player function. Honestly I think it's kind of useless. The screen size is too small for watching DVD, with mediocre display quality and resolution. Plus, you can only play video once you're parked and with parking brake engaged. I think you'd be much better of buying some portable DVD players or media addon etc.

The DVD feature was on lots of Nissans and Infinitis for many years, but not many people use it because like FlyIce said, you have to be in park with the brake on. The factory does this because they see movies as a distraction to the driver. I believe there is a way to disconnect this safety feature though. I had an aftermarket NAV/DVD player in my 370Z and wired it so it could play DVD's, but still never used it while I was driving. Much safer with your eyes on the road.

It's also a legality issue, because of the safety issue. Many states don't allow a video player that the driver can
see, or have size restrictions on them. This seems to be a pretty comprehensive state list.

Make sure to verify within your state. The listing for Texas is outdated. TX has banned the use of mobile/electronic devices by any driver at any time while in the act of driving. Stop and go traffic? Still a citation. Waiting at a red light? Still a citation. They're really cracking down on this. School and work zones are citations that are even more costly. Rightly so.
