Moving overhead tv to floor cabinet

Looking for advise on tv power controller, is it necessary to move to base cabinet or can I plug into and run power to the tv. Don't understand the three low voltage wires coming from the controller? One for the auto off of the tv but the other two?
Any comments will be appreciated.

    Sorry but I don't understand the question.
    What is the function of this "tv power controller" ?

    And what exactly are you trying to accomplish ?
    If you are moving the TV to a different location and want to keep ALL of the present functionality, you would need to extend all of the existing cables exactly as they are now.

    TV power controller? You mean a plug? The TV just plugs into a standard wall outlet. What are you referring to?
  • I think you are referring to the relay box that turns off power to the tv when the vehicle ignition is on.

    If you move the tv to a base cabinet you do not need to move the relay box .....if the tv is not mounted within view of the driver. Just move and plug the tv into any 120 volt outlet.
