Mobile video components are becoming more and more affordable this year. The options are also growing. You can now get video monitors in a variety of styles, including the double din mobile video "all in one" units with a 6.5" or 7"screen. Some of these units even come in a touch screen mode and can feature windows mobile or act as an in car computer. Other options include the flip out 7" screens which come loaded like the double din versions, or stripped down as just a monitor. If you are looking for just the monitor, then there are several options, like the headrest monitors, sunvisor monitors, flip down monitors, and dash mounted monitors.
Mobile video is an awesome addition to any vehicle, and can help parents cope with children on longer trips. State laws limit how and where video monitors can be displayed, so check with your local law enforcement to be sure to stay legal. Most require monitors to be out of sight of the driver unless they are off while driving. Installing them without the safety features is illegal, so be careful what you ask the installers to do. Chances are you won't get caught, but if you do, the fines are hefty.
We will post the state law requirements for you in the next post.
