[quote=rando]I'm not a 'legal expert' and this is not legal advice. Below is the EXACT text of AB 301. The words 'factory installed' never appear.

You are right the words "factory installed don't appear in the bill" I probably saw it in a paraphrase of a news article or something. There have been many articles published in the media concerning the bill and a few have taken liberties with the interpretation. It seems clear from the text that as long as I'm not playing video or business applications (whatever that entails) I should be o.k. In the end I think its up to the law enforcement officer to determine if there really is a violation. To be safe, I am going to mount the display on the floor console. That way it is not visible to passing motorists or cops. It also is shielded from sun glare that way. Those of you that are mounting your monitor on the dash or in it are going to be more vulnerable.
