Yes, you can watch movies etc. while moving without buying a toggle switch. All you have do is just wire connect it legally the way the cops want it. Here is the trick... Just apply your parking brake 1/16 to 1/8 of the way or just enough until your parking brake light comes on.In this condition, most vehicles if not all, their brakes are still freewheeling. In short, just to activate the parking switch without the actual parking brake application. Newer vehicles have a nuisance alarm warning them that the vehicle parking brake is applied while being driven. So check your vehicle if it does this before doing this kinda trick. I think this idea is the best and it is wired legally.

Thanks dude!! this really helped. I've been trying to figure out how to play my dvd player while driving for the longest. Only thing is the toggle switch I have is small about the size of 2 quaters, but it's an odd shape and it has a protective cover over the switch. So I have to flip the cover to flip the switch. So how can I mount it and where.
