Video in Motion Activation for Land Rover & Jaguar

Video in Motion lets your front touchscreen play video content while your vehicle travels. JLR disables front screen playback above walking pace at the factory, and that lockout applies across every market. LR-Retrofit removes this restriction on compatible Jaguar and Land Rover models through precise software coding within your vehicle’s Central Configuration File (CCF). We use licensed JLR diagnostic tools and official calibration data. Your passengers then gain access to films, streaming content and media from connected devices on long journeys. The driver must never view video content while the vehicle is in motion.

What Video in Motion Delivers

Video in Motion removes the speed-based lockout that governs front screen playback. Once active, your touchscreen accepts video input from the sources your vehicle already supports. These typically include USB media, HDMI input where fitted, and connected devices through the rear entertainment system on equipped models.

The activation also restores access to certain menu functions that the factory lockout hides while the vehicle moves. Navigation entry, some climate controls and specific media options become available to the front passenger throughout the journey. That access improves the passenger experience without altering how any safety system operates.

On vehicles fitted with the Rear Seat Entertainment system, the factory already permits playback while moving. Video in Motion extends compatible functionality to the front display for passenger viewing. We confirm exactly which sources your vehicle supports during the assessment.

Safety and Legal Position

We treat this feature as a passenger convenience function, and we ask every customer to do the same. Driver distraction contributes to a significant share of road collisions, and video content holds attention far more strongly than audio alone. For that reason, we include the following guidance with every activation:

• Driver viewing is prohibited — the driver must never watch video content while the vehicle moves.
• Legal restrictions apply — many US states and countries prohibit visible entertainment content within the driver’s line of sight while driving.
• Passenger viewing only — the front screen should serve the passenger, and the rear screens serve rear occupants.
• Park before you watch — drivers should park safely and switch off the ignition before viewing any content.

Please confirm the regulations that apply in your state or country before you book this activation. You remain responsible for lawful and safe use of the feature at all times.

How the System Works

Your vehicle’s Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) manages the infotainment display and its media functions. On earlier platforms, the Audio Control Module (ACM) and the head unit share this responsibility. The module reads a speed signal over the vehicle’s CAN network and compares it against a configured threshold.

When vehicle speed exceeds that threshold, the module suppresses video output to the front display and hides certain menu options. JLR applies this behaviour in software, and the restriction sits within the CCF parameters that govern display behaviour.

We modify the relevant CCF parameters and write the updated configuration to the APIM and its dependent modules. Where a platform requires a specific firmware level, we source the correct file through the JLR TOPIx technical portal and apply it with licensed diagnostic equipment. The activation introduces no hardware changes, and every safety system remains untouched.

Activation Process

LR-Retrofit performs Video in Motion activation through professional software coding. This approach delivers several clear advantages:

• No hardware installation required — the function uses your vehicle’s existing display and media hardware.
• Factory-compliant coding — we modify your vehicle’s CCF using licensed JLR diagnostic tools and official OEM data.
• Complete in under one hour — the process is fast, efficient and fully reversible.
• Full verification — we scan for fault codes and confirm correct display behaviour before handover.

We complete the activation at our workshop or through remote coding, depending on your location and vehicle setup.
