Just ground the wire. That way you won't have to worry about most of the features being disabled while your driving.

FYI: This may be against the law, and can be dangerous if your crazy enough to watch TV while you drive.

I've heard stories about people getting sucked into the drain at the pool, but I've still got my park brake wire grounded. Going on two years now, no tickets.

you are allowed to have information on the screen while moving, so if your screen is a tuner as well, then you can just press the button to flip it over to the am/fm tuner or cd screen, or go to navigation and you are safe. if you get pulled just flip it to an info screen and tell the cop to **** off, it's just a radio.

later,
chris
