There is some law that says a player that is opperating while the car is in motion must not be able to be viewed by the driver.

Of course, 99% of the aftermarket installs don't follow this.....just yank that puppy out if you ever get in an accident because a good lawyer will use it against you even if the other person was at fault.
The BEST thing to do is have a switchable defeat for the DVD system in the dash. Normal 'legal' operation unless said switch is flipped. We used to to that with the old alpine CVA-1000s.
