Infotainment video playback format

Tags: #infotainment

The factory infotainment head unit plays video files in MP4 format — confirmed by an owner who loaded downloaded cartoons for his daughter to watch on road trips ¹.

By default, the head unit has a driving lockout on video playback: video stops/blacks out once the car is in motion, a common safety behavior on factory Chinese-market head units. This can be switched off from a settings menu so video keeps playing while driving — one owner shared a screenshot of the exact menu (an Enable/Disable toggle, with an "ON ▶" row below it) reached by navigating into the head unit's settings, though the specific menu path above that screen was not spelled out in the message ². The original question asking about the screen's resolution and supported formats did not get a resolution figure answered, only the format and this workaround ³.
