The brake interlock function is released if the display unit is installed for passengers in the rear seats. Various release devices including a mechanical and an electrical switch are disclosed for releasing the brake interlock function for the display unit in the vehicle audio/video system. The release device is established within a display compartment mounted on a front or middle seat when the display unit is installed in the display compartment.
