mobile video Disclaimer

This raises the same questions that many people have about remote starter's on manual transmission vehicles. The manufacturer has disclaimer's on the installation guide, the box & also warns the installer about the potential dangers of installing a remote starter designed for an automatic in a manual transmission vehicle. This applies to the mobile video world as well and if a scape goat is needed in a law suit, sure enough it will be the installer.

I would tie the system into the parking brake system and if the customer wants to be able to drive and watch a movie, tell him that you can show him how to do it, but he/she will have to do the actual connection.

Velocity, even by installing it correctly and showing or telling them how to hook it up to bypass it is just the same as if you were to do it for them, they can still point the finger at you "He showed me how to do it". 

Xetemes is right, if it is illegal in the state you are in even by making them sign a waiver only proves that "you" the installer broke the law by improperly installing it so they could view it while driving. The best way to CYA is to install it according to the laws of your state.

I live in GA, and currently there is no law against having a front mounted monitor playing video while the vehicle is in motion. One shop I used to work for would only hook up a monitor up front for viewing purposes if the customer paid cash only and got NO install receipt. The shop I work at now we hook it up for front viewing and the customer is informed by our sales people about the risks and dangers of viewing it while driving but there is no waiver they have to sign. It is risky but our shop owner says that since there is no law against it then there is no need for a waiver and it is the customers responsibility to use it wisely. His analogy is like this, a customer buys a Ferrari which is capaple of speeds over 175 mph, if the customer chooses not to use common sense and gets pulled over for such a speed or has a wreck and kills someone at a high speed then the customer is the one responsible NOT Ferarri,  just because they made the car capable of that speed they are not responsible for how fast someone goes, just the same with mobile video from our shop,if we make video up front capable of use and it IS legal in our state, and  the customer chooses to use it in an unsafe manner that causes them to be in a wreck that is the customers responsibilty.
