Is it true that in you can see your monitor whilst driving you can get done for it? Im putting mine in the dash above the cd player and taking the vents and hazard out. Can anyone enlighten me?

Most will have a cable which you should connect to your handbrake cable light which will allow images to be displayed when this is complete. On mine the line just hast to be grounded, some peoplpe just put a switch on, and drive along with the screen on, then if police pull you jus flick the switch and it will say somin like viewing not aloud while driving.

Not sure why they do it tho, as loads of people have TomTom/Sat nav etc which is equally as distracting, unless ure driving along with some porn vid on lol

Hope this helps,

You are allowed:

But not moving images like movies, games, dvd's...
