    Sounds the safety mode on it, it switchs off the screens so the driver will not be watching the screen instead of watching the road.

    As you said its for the kids so there is a wire somewhere that you need to cut.

    Yep.

    Sounds like a speed signal is getting to the DVD player/screen. This is usually fed from the speedo sender or an ABS sensor. Check the connection instructions - they may help you identify the colour of the wire in question.

    What sort of car is it fitted to and what is the make/model of the DVD setup?

    Hi , its a honda frv 2008, and the dvd player is a nextbase model 8.5 inch.
    works perfect in the house plug just not in the car when its running, thanks for any help you can give

    Hmmm - if that's the only connection then it may be a sensor in the DVD player that's shutting it down. Maybe it's the shocks it gets as the car is moving.......?

    Would that shine any light on the problem
