How to turn the LCD screen off when driving?

In the System Menu, you can turn the LCD screen off, but only when the handbrake is UP. Crying or Very sad It's odd because it's clearly designed to be pressed when driving because if you LEAVE the Pioneer in the system menu and start driving, you can still turn the screen on and off, but as soon as you leave the system menu you can't get back in!! Evil or Very Mad

 

Do any of you uber hackers have a way to make a shortcut to turning the LCD off when driving? It would save my eyes a bit at night when all want is music.

 

Thank you so much in advance!

Step 1) perform the hardware bypass (see the hacks forum for instructions)

 

Step 2) Hit the "Screen Off" soft button

 

Step 3) Profit

So there's no way to just create a shortcut to the screen off button using a software hack?

 

Thanks again...
