I'm looking at putting an 11.5in flid down in my truck. What are the laws I need to be aware of? I want to put it far enough forward so that I can use it with a backup camera but I heard it needs to be inline with the b-pillar.

Cannot play video while driving if it's within the drivers view... It's a hefty ticket.
If you need a drop down put it between the seats and use a review mirror with a built in camera for your backup camera.

IN AZ the screen cannot be in any position where the driver can see it.
