I don't know who can hook it up for you, but you can buy the equipment at avelectronic.com. Hope this is of some help.

More importantly, can you hook it to a Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox or GBA? I could really score some envy points with my buddies... it might keep some of them quiet!

Most of shops could do that mod for you, but it's better to get the one who has done at least one 04TL already. Don't let your car be the lab rat.

For pics, you could check this. http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67878

Probably....after you wreck the car watching a movie or playing a game while drving I can't beleive how many people ask about doing the extremely unsafe mod. Even though almost everyone says they won't use it while driving, I can imagine how great the temptation will be after a while to just sneak a peek.

Most of them are kids who want to play video games, etc.

I know... and I don't want them anywhere near me and my baby on the road. TV/DVD screens and game hookups belong in the backseat for passengers *only*.

some cars allow this -- but only when the car is in Park. As long as it's not disabled, that's safe. Brings "drive-in movies" to a whole new level.

Any competant audio/stereo shop are able to install this device. My guy had no trouble at all. Watching tv is cool but I am lookin to install a rear view camera too.

God! I'm so pleased that the other MA residents are against this mod. I admit it has its coolness factor, but when I'm riding my R1 around it's just another thing I have to worry about. Once I barely escaped getting hit from behind by someone on their cellphone... On the highway (495) at rush hour people in front stopped all of a sudden (I think it was because of some solar glare). Guy behind me in a pickup came pretty close, he actually burned some rubber while braking, I had to quickly go into the emergency lane. One more reason to love the HFL in these cars!

This doesn't look any good. http://www.avelectronic.com/License-Camera.htm

But, you may like to take a look...
