Not legal in TN. Like most states the law states the screen can not be viewable from the drivers seat. That begs the question of the in dash DVD players etc that a lot of people put in with the slide out screens, are they illegal as well? Technically in TN yes. Check with your local police dept, most officers will be more than happy to answer your questions, and that way you don't have to worry about tickets etc...

IF the tv remains off while you drive and do have a switch or device that prevents it from been turned on while in drive mode it is legal. Because you can be stopped and if the police feels that the tv is a distraction and ask you to turn it on, but if you can prove that it does not work while in gear you are off the hook. Remember that no matter what someone says about been safe in the road, having a tv in the front would be an invitation to turn it on while on trafic and probably causing an accident, so think of it logically and you can see why is illegal to actually have the tv in the front where the driver can see it. KEY WORD DRIVER CAN SEE IT.......

I do not know of any state where it is legal to mount a TV screen in a motor vehicle so that it is visible to the driver. This excludes rearview systems and navigation. It is very dangerous to manipulate any of the systems while in motion.

In most states it is legal only while not in view of the driver. So install it for the backseat. It would probably be better to install a dvd player and drop down monitor. These can be purchased at you local car shop, sound center, or even walmart. Check with your state highway patrol office for rules regarding this. Besides if your watching a movie alone with your girl you dont want the steering wheel in your way right?

DVD players / TV / videos are not allowed to be in view of the driver. Texas, anyway.

you can as long as the angle on the tv is not directly aimed towards the driver. if you ever get pulled over the cop might have some words for you about the tv if its in direct view of the driver

Yes as long as you dont get caught watching anything while your driving.
