the dvd you can't use period while you're driving, unless you get the workaround.

If you make sure to get a z1 that is built after July, the bypass is extremely simple. I had my z1 installed in my m3 and it worked like a charm. You have to ground the ebrake and pull one of the unused wires out of the harness, place into a specific opening in the other harness and ground it. Sounds a little strange but takes two minutes. I can watch movies, change address, etc because the unit thinks the car is parked and has the ebrake on.

To the ILL wire out of the stereo harness. If you're asking this question you're not using a wiring harness I'm betting. Stop by a stereo shop and pick one up to vastly simplify your installation. It has everything but the speed and reverse wires (well parking brake as well but you won't be using that if you use a bypass).

I have the exact same combo, to be honest though the Orbital does not fit too well. I had to kind of tape a piece of plastic to even out the gaps. It does however make the interior much nicer.
