The canbus system links the car to the satnav system and so if you lose a signal it references the canbus system to keep your satnav accurate (ie through tunnels). It also links with the DVD set up to prevent you using a video DVD (or TV) whilst on the move. :nerd:

you dont need anything extra to play DVDs on the RNS 510, when the car is still
