Yep, if you notice, all DVD players for vehicles won't let you watch a video unless you have the brakes on and are in park or you add a switch to the wires that control the screen and bypass the "safety feature", which is meant to be there to keep people from being distracted by watching videos in their car. Many states this is the law and hey don't play about it!! Don't get caught with the tv playing and not paying attention to the road. They will write a nice ticket for doing so!! But yes, I agree 110% with the above posters, that this is why Apple is licking things down more. They have to by law more so than choice. But even then it's a bad idea. JMHO's. But to each their own. Good Day To All.
