i have been seeing a few cars for sale ads and noticed that along with GPS some cars have TV too. the ad says gps/tv . does that mean the car has tv? what channels can be seen in it? watchin tv on the gps screen, isnt that ummm dangerous especially when on SZR :shock: :shock: ????

it sure is dangerous, while driving anywhere. I heard there was a rule prohibiting installation of TV's in the Front side/driver side that may distract the driver, but was allowed to be installed on the rear seats ( behind the front passenger / driver seats ) . I dont know if this is a rumour or for real. Like lets say Dubai transport cab's. Some of them have TV for rear passengers. Mostly they catch the local frequency like Abu Dhabi TV, Sharjah, UAQ & Ajman. You can hook it up with a DVD Player or even with a portable computer with S-Video

Yeah, its common to have gps/tv - most beemers have a tv tuner installed. It picks up free-to-air signals - I get about 6 channels, but once the car goes faster than 5kms/hr it will show a blank warning screen with only the sound remaining.

I have it as well and got 2 extra screens installed in the head rest. I got my speed sencor for the tv disconnected so people can watch television at any speed.

I have a 42" plasma and diesel generator with satellite dish. Seems to work fine at any speed.

If he put a 42-inch in his mobile home, where would the toilet go?
