can u watch a movie while in drive on a in dash tv

on mine No, but i heard thiers ways to do it but i also heard its illegal to drive while its on.

yes....its illegal if the driver can see the tv i believe...i think ur supposed to have it hooked up where the tv only turns on when the e-brake is pulled...but no one really does that

if a shop installs it, it can only be on "legally" when the car is in park, no idea on a manual though..maybe the parking brake?

if you install it urself its very easy to avoid this just done run the wire to the parking brake but shops HAVE to wire it so you can only have it on in park

Do you know if this is valid on the sony MEX-R5 wireless video signal? I just received this unit today, I will be installing it on Monday

As long as the monitor is not within the drivers line of sight, should be just fine, from the legal standpoint.

Can't really tell ya how many times I've seen those minivans and such with DVD players installed as factory option and the little kiddies watchin their cartoons as daddy plays Indy driver down the freeway. (85+ in a 60).

just ground the parking brake wire.. shops have to make it so u cant watch while u drive in case u get in an accident and so they arent held accountable.. not all will work when u ground the wire.. for example the pioneer avic 1 you can do it, but im not sure u can with the avic2..

most require a braking patern.... like hold down the break, then ebrake on, off, back on.... then release normal brake. so in order to do it right you would need 2 toggles... one for the brake wire, and one for the ebrake wire. now with the pioneer avics being reprogramed into the n2 (n2 is the n1 with new software) they head unit is now "aware" of its gps that is built in.... it knows when your moving if your trying to trick it with electrical ummmmm......short cicuits(who would wire it up for illegal use?) so now you have to run an rca patch from video out to the reverse camera in, then hook the reverse wire to a toggle switch and your video is magicly back btw this all aplied to pioneer avic units lol.

the avic n2 if you ground the ebrake wire it picks up in the gyro portion of the nav. so over i think around 5mph video cuts out. did one in an H3, just drove really slow. and i heard not to run the update disc on your avic n1 cause that gyro things built into the software.
