I've discovered that someone in my FF's past has installed TV in motion. I've done the digital TV upgrade and added the reverse camera, but for insurance purposes (and the fact that personally I'm not comfortable with the faclity) I want to remove the feature - anyone know what the control box/lead looks like so I can find it and remove it?

It's in the boot where the TV tuner is - it's been a while, but from memory, it's kind of like an extension lead that fits between two of the cables with a slight bulge in the middle where the components are - just remove that section and you're done. Blue connectors - something like 15 pins.

That's what mine was like anyway - but it's been a few years - I used to tow a trailer I couldn't see behind or past very well, so used to run a reverse camera on it so I could use it as a mirror

Thanks for that - seem to remember a blue harness in the middle of the loom when i put the digital tv tuner in - will have a rummage in the boot tonight!

There's also this one, but basically the same idea -

Someone showing some common sense at last, well done nicksaab. Pity the forum encourages 'TV in motion' by providing instructions on how to fit it knowing it is illegal to watch on the highway.

In the pre 2010MY cars that did not have the dual screen functionality, TV on the move allows the passenger to watch the screen - no one is saying you drive and watch TV. Discovery 4 HSE

If you drive with TV on visible to you, you are breaking the law. Plenty of ways to watch TV out of the drivers sight, which is why manufacturers offer rear seat options.

Please do not try and justify illegal acts, the roads are dangerous enough already.

No need to get on your high horse with me, I don't manufacture or sell these devices, just giving you a valid reason why some people wanted the device.

What they do with it is their issue not mine. Discovery 4 HSE

To be honest even though its fitted I wouldn't have the screen running when driving but I understand individuals reasons or rights to, but my garage has told me its the first thing insurance investigators check on TV equipped cars in the event of an accident 'could the TV have distracted the driver' - which is why I'm taking it out rather than leaving it in and not using the function! Current Fleet:-

thats an interesting point re insurance claims..  ... - .- -.

Nothing illegal about using the tv function whilst driving to tune into Freeview radio channels.
As I understand it it is only illegal for the driver to be able to see a tv screen displaying video from any source.
I would have thought a lot of satnav/car computer screens are a lot more distracting these days.

afaik there are no freeview radio channels on car hybrid tuners.. ... - .- -.

There are on converted non hybrid tuners.
I have 40 at the last count.
As with Freeview tv though a lot are rubbish.

I thought my use was fairly reasonable - can't see why a video picture of what's behind me is any more distracting than a rear view mirror - and better than a huge blind spot.

Anyway, I consider myself suitably reprimanded - and no longer have the car it was in anyway now.....

Is it just me or is anybody else sensing a touch of deja vu.......
