I haven't found any recent threads on this topic...

I have an 09 Allstar and the front TV can't be turned on while the engine is on. Our kids would be much happier if they could watch something while I'm driving.

On the fuse panel there is a fuse position which is labeled "TV lockout" but it is an empty position so the solution is not "just pull the fuse". I've plugged in a 10A fuse and a bare copper wire but neither worked - at least not in the 3 minutes of experimenting I did.

Any suggestions?

I know I could probably get the power cord of the TV plugged into another outlet by the DVD player if I pull off the back wood panel surrrounding the TV but that seems like a big hassle and potential for breaking the wood cover.

Dave

Dave, we generally discourage any discussions along this line as having an operational TV within view of the driver is not legal in most states. iRV2 does not support any illegal activities. If anyone wants to discuss this issue, please do so through the PM (Private Message) system.
