    the NCOP preface is enlightening:

    http://www.dotars.gov.au/transport/s...E_3Feb2006.pdf

    as for NSW RTA - they have advised that they will continue to let signatories decide which particualr guidlines they use, as both are related directly to the requirements of the ADR's...

    DVD / TV Screens:
    http://www.comlaw.gov.au/ComLaw/Legi...0FINALFRLI.htm

    Yes, they are allowed, but the screen may not be visable by the driver in the normal driving position.

    Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 42/00 – General Safety Requirements) 2006

    42.16. TELEVISION AND VISUAL DISPLAY UNITS
    42.16.1.General

    All television receivers or visual display units and their associated equipment must be securely mounted in a position which:

    42.16.1.1. does not obscure the driver’s vision;

    42.16.1.2. does not impede driver or passenger movement in the vehicle; and

    42.16.1.3. is unlikely to increase the risk of occupant injury.

    42.16.2.Restriction on Visibility of Screen

    Unless a driver’s aid, all television receivers or visual display units must be installed so that no part of the image on the screen is visible to the driver from the normal driving position.


    ALSO:
    http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/fr...1998+sch.4+0+N

    42 Television receivers and visual display units

    (1) A television receiver or visual display unit must not be installed in a vehicle so any part of the image on the screen is visible to the driver from the normal driving position.
    (2) However, subclause (1) does not apply to:
    (a) a television receiver or visual display unit that cannot be operated when the vehicle is moving, or
    (b) a driver’s aid in any vehicle or a destination sign in a bus.

    Examples of driver’s aids:

    1 Closed-circuit television security cameras.
    2 Dispatch systems.
    3 Navigational or intelligent highway and vehicle system equipment.
    4 Rear view screens.
    5 Ticket-issuing machines.
    6 Vehicle monitoring devices.
    (3) A television receiver, or visual display unit, and its associated equipment in a vehicle must be securely mounted in a position that:
    (a) does not obscure the driver’s view of the road, and
    (b) does not impede the movement of a person in the vehicle.

    No the structural integrity will be compromised, there were some half cars welded together a while back it was on the news. They were being sold and later the owners found out they were defective.

    Bayani it's important to note the difference between federal (ADR) and state regs.

    The ADR requirements are the minimum roadworthiness/safety requirements nationwide, but states may enforce higher standards if they wish to.
