"or will i be able to watch dvds and music videos while i drive"
^^ I've never really seen a point for TV's in a car period, especially when it would be such a distraction. Kinda like PS2's and video game systems in the car. If you have a minivan or an SUV with a TV in back for the kids, that I can see, but otherwise, be safe when you're driving and don't risk it. Thats why Bluetooth and handsfree devices were made, to make it easier to talk on the phone while driving. Thats already distracting enough, if someone's watching TV thats extra danger I don't want from other drivers.

I know it is just wishful thinking, but I personally hope that no hack will become available to allow this while the vehicle is in motion.

i 100% agree that watching movies (passenger or not) is a HORRIBLE idea on a screen mounted in the dashboard...its precisely why its illegal. The whole argument of "i've seen a family guy episode before so i can laugh along without watching" is patently absurd.
^^^ HAHAHAHA I was actually thinking that the next big "Pimp My Ride" thing will be a Plasma or LCD screen mounted on the windshield with CAMERA'S on the front bumper hahahaha

I disagree, Ive always owned a 7.5" LCD monitor hooked up to my DVD player, my passengers watched movies on road trips, I just listened. I never had a problem with it or even thought about looking at the screen, I actually thought it was quite amusing even though I was not watching it.
The man asked a question and I think it should be answered without him having to explain anything to any of you. Im sure eventually well be able to surpass that park/parking brake thing.
