IMPORTANT WARNING!
It is illegal in all 50 U.S. states, and in most Canadian
provinces, to have real time video (TV broadcast, VHS, DVD

FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN INTERFACING A REARVIEW
CAMERA SYSTEM, THE BLUE INTERLOCK WIRE ON THE
SOUNDGATE VIDEO MODULE MUST BE PROPERLY CONNECTED
TO PREVENT THE DRIVER VIEWING REAL TIME VIDEO WHILE
THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
We do not want to put our dealers in a position of liability,
nor our customers in danger in the event of an accident due
to driver distraction.
If you do not intend to comply with applicable law, please
return the SoundGate video module to the dealer it was
purchased from, or to SoundGate if it was purchased direct.
