In that case, most of the high-end RV's and some
tractor trailers wouldn't pass either since a lot of
them have rear-view cameras. They might force you to
wire the power through the reverse light circuit so it
will only work while backing, which I will gladly do
for inspection purposes.:>)

Thats one reason I would like to be able to display my
gauges grapically on the LCD, then I could claim that
they are an auxiliary gauge package and part of my
dashboard. I could always record a dashboard display
off of NASCAR 2002 onto tape and play it in the VHS at
the inspection station.:>)

Worst case, it's held in place with a wingnut and a
5-pin din connector and takes about 3 seconds to
remove and stash.

Thanks,

Tim
