ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for easily and safely releasing a brake interlock function of a vehicle audio/video system. The vehicle audio/video system is designed to enable both a driver and a passenger to watch a video with a display unit. For safety reasons, a brake interlock function is incorporated to disable the display unit when the vehicle is in motion. The brake interlock function is released if the display unit is installed for passengers in the rear seats. Various release devices including a mechanical and an electrical switch are disclosed for releasing the brake interlock function for the display unit in the vehicle audio/video system. The release device is established within a display compartment mounted on a front or middle seat when the display unit is installed in the display compartment.
