Backseat Driver
Backseat Driver is a gameplay script that allows the player to control a vehicle while sitting in the rear passenger seat. Instead of driving normally, the player issues driving commands from the back while an AI companion remains in the driver’s seat and physically operates the vehicle.
The concept is designed for immersive gameplay scenarios such as mafia roleplay, VIP transport, and organized crime gameplay, where the player sits in the back like a boss while a bodyguard handles the driving.
This is my first GTA V mod and it is still a work in progress, so some features—particularly the vehicle entry detection—are still being refined.
Features
Control vehicles while seated in the back seat
Works with bodyguard or companion NPCs acting as the driver
Toggle control mode while remaining in the rear passenger seat
Encrypted Network interface to call or dismiss your personal driver
Force dismiss system to despawn stuck drivers instantly
Configurable .ini settings
Updates
Version 5.0
Driver and Vehicle customisation per player/addon ped model added
Driver offset per vehicle added
Version 4.0
Updated to .dll for more reliable performance
Version 3.0
Driver offset fixes for Cognoscenti and Baller
Added Force Dismiss Driver feature
Selecting Dismiss Driver twice will immediately despawn the driver and vehicle
Various small fixes
Version 2.0
Added Personal Driver system
Added Encrypted Network interface
Added .ini configuration file
How It Works
The mod requires an NPC companion or bodyguard sitting in the driver’s seat. The script uses this character as the physical driver of the vehicle.
Once the player enters the rear passenger seat, they can control the vehicle’s movement while remaining seated in the back, creating the illusion that the companion NPC is driving.
If using Version 3.0, a personal driver and vehicle can be spawned through the Encrypted Network system. Configuration options can be adjusted in the .ini file.
Encrypted Network (Personal Driver System)
The Encrypted Network allows the player to call or dismiss a personal driver and vehicle directly from an in-game interface.
Opening the Encrypted Network
Open the in-game phone.
Wait approximately 1 second.
Press Triangle.
The Encrypted Network panel will appear on screen.
Available Options
Call Driver
Spawns your personal driver and vehicle nearby. The driver will locate the player and arrive at your position.
Dismiss Driver
Orders the driver to leave the area. The driver will rejoin traffic, drive approximately 100 meters away, and then despawn along with the vehicle.
Force Dismiss Driver
If the driver becomes stuck or cannot reach the player, selecting Dismiss Driver a second time will immediately despawn the driver and vehicle so a new one can be called.
The driver and vehicle models can be customized in the .ini file.
Entering the Back Seat
Ensure a bodyguard or companion NPC is sitting in the driver’s seat.
Approach the vehicle.
Hold Triangle on the controller.
If the conditions are met, the player will enter the rear passenger seat instead of the driver’s seat.
Note
The entry detection system is still being refined. The action is most reliable when standing near the rear door area of the vehicle.
The script currently executes after holding Triangle for approximately one second, and the button must be released very close to that timing.
Controller input is currently the only supported method.
Controlling the Vehicle
Once seated in the back seat:
Press D-Pad Up + Triangle at the same time
This activates Backseat Driver Mode.
When active, the player can control the vehicle while remaining seated in the back seat.
Press D-Pad Up + Triangle again to toggle the system off.

Installation
Place the files inside your scripts folder.
Requirements
ScriptHookV
ScriptHookVDotNet
Compatibility
Backseat Driver should work with most bodyguard, companion, or driver scripts, as long as the NPC is seated in the driver’s seat.
The driver seen in the demonstration videos is part of a personal driver script that may be released in a future update.
Currently the mod works best with SUVs and the Cognoscenti. Lower vehicles may cause the driver to clip through the roof due to seating offsets.
Current Status
This mod is still under development and may contain minor bugs or unfinished behaviour.
Planned improvements include:
Improved rear seat entry detection
Better driver positioning and animations
Expanded vehicle compatibility
Feedback and suggestions are welcome as development continues.

Nice mod, but how come the thumbnail used is AI?
@ChargedKILO haven’t been able to try it because I need a bodyguard driving, will you ever implement that here yourself?
This is heat! what a great idea!
@thalilmythos Coming in update - Included my personal driver mod - bring up your phone, wait 1 second and press Triangle to bring up an encrypted network - here you can call and dismiss the driver and car that works well with this mod.
@ChargedKILO Gonna finally try it then, if I like how it works I'll create a functionality within my "group orders mod" to use this mod with it.
Cool concept!
How do u use this in PC?
@ChargedKILO ah no problem
I really like it
Can we conduct LSPDFR patrols by asking our partner, either from Ultimate Backup or Redefined Police, to drive?
@kaariim_24 If they are classed as a friendly and in the driver seat then it should work but I don't use LSPDFR so haven't tested. LMK
@ChargedKILO They are allies, yes, but we need a system to ask them to take the wheel. Okay, I'll try that.
@kaariim_24 only compatible with the driver provided in the update and bodyguard/companion mods where the ped can drive... try advanced bodyguards - you can order them to get in vehicles therefore filling the driver seat with a companion. Hope that helps
Well, basically it's a light version of Custom Peds. Not bad. Good job.
Doesn't it have a keyboard?
@Jake_GG built for controller only at the moment - keys might work but haven't tested...
@ChargedKILO First of all, Great Mod!! I Want some help because I can get the car, the character enters the vehicle, the driver drives the vehicle but when I do the command to get the car control from the back seat, it doesn't work. I don't know what could it be. Can you help me? Thank you very much!
@Fabio Campello the most likely issue is that D-Pad Up + Triangle needs to be pressed together quite cleanly once you’re already seated in the back seat. If they aren’t hit at almost exactly the same time, the toggle may not register..
@ChargedKILO Thank you for the reply! When I do that the driver seams to change his clothes, for another variant, but the vehicle control doesn't change for me, in fact, I don't think I pressed the D-pad and triangle that quick! I will try it again! Thank you very much!
Nice mod
