Is there a problem to release the car navigation system?I asked the police and dealers!

　For example, it is no wonder that you want to watch TV or DVDs for a change of mood if you have a small child or a long ride. However, many car navigation systems have a function that can watch TV and DVDs, but they are not displayed while driving. The reason why TV cannot watch while driving is "driving", which has a high risk of accidents. According to the data of the "traffic accident occurrence of mobile phones, etc." published by the National Police Agency, 1283 traffic accidents involved in the use of mobile phones (including closure of car navigation systems) in 2020. increase. Among them, 677 accidents due to the closing of car navigation systems, which account for about 50 % of the total. In a traffic accident related to the use of mobile phones, etc., the mortality rate is about twice as compared to other traffic accidents that do not use mobile phones, etc., indicating that the lethal rate is high. Due to such danger, the Road Traffic Law was amended on December 1, 2019, and the use and closure of mobile phones, car navigation, tablets, etc. were restricted in Article 71. However, it is said that "except when the car is suspended" here, and the use during the parking is permitted. Against this background, the car navigation system of the new car cannot be used while driving, and it is now possible to enjoy watching TV only when parked by car, such as a break in a car. On the other hand, car supply stores also sell kits that remodel car navigation systems so that they can watch TV while driving. Does attaching such a kit not hit illegal acts? A person in charge of the Police Station Traffic Safety Division explains, "The installation of the kit itself is not illegal. If the passenger seats and the rear seats watch TV, they can be installed." So, what kind of response is the car supply store or dealer? The person in charge of the car supply store explains as follows. "If you cancel the car navigation system, it will not be a violation. At the car supply store, the driver does not assume that it will watch or operate it, but it is sold as a product for the passenger. It is not a violation even if you unlock it using. The restrictions are divided into two types, and the TV kit that allows you to watch only the TV is from 20,000 yen. Watch both TV and navigation.・ On the other hand, the TV navigation kit that can be operated is handled from the mid -20,000 yen range. Domestic dealer staff says: "In our company, car navigation removal is not to be done under the company's regulations. Car navigation systems such as dealer options are often OEMs on commercial products, and they are sold at car supplies stores. It is possible to release it with the kit. " * * * ※ Release of car navigation itself is not a violation, but it may be a violation if the driver closes while driving. Therefore, if you can watch TV or DVDs on a car navigation system while driving, remember to do it at your own risk.
