I once saw a guy reading a newspaper and eating a bagle in rush hour traffic! I wonder if having Robin Williams Live on Broadway would be more of a distraction...

I believe the law is in effect in all states. No TV style screen can be active if it is in view of the driver while the vehicle is in motion. This does not include touch screens. But screens that movies or TV programs are playing. Very big fines usually, and just plain stupid in any case. WHen I did the dual DVD screen headrest setup in the wifes MPV, I wanted to do a small screen up front. Mainly for menu's and such. But read about the fines in SC and

No way was I gonna take that chance.

All I wanted to do was add a small 4"-5" monitor to my system to be able to see the menu's for movies to help start movies. I have already set up the dual headrest 7" monitors. So I just burn movies using DVDexpress Plat. It cuts out all extras and the movies just auto play. My Concept DVD player plays DVD+RW's beautifully.

I've read that some in-dash units have "dual-tuner" functionality to allow you to attach more video screens to the head unit and allow two different audio tracks to be played. In other words, the kids in the back watch the movie and listen on headphones while the adults in front listen to the radio.

Like this one:
