Car DVD price quotes are in and I’m battling it out with hubby. Need your opinion?!?
We have the opportunity to get two 7″ Myron and Davis built-in headrest DVD players for $1650-1700, OR one fold down DVD (10″ or 13″) for $600-1,000. Prices include installation. We have two kids, ages 21 months and 12 years. We already have a portable DVD player that can be strapped onto a seat as a “supplement” to either of these two options. So…which DVD setup would you go with? Headrest or single fold-down DVD player???
JScorpio, I have a 21 month old who has the attention span of a flea and doesn’t know how to read yet.
Let me clarify for everyone…the DVD players would be used mainly for long drives; i.e. road trips in the summer, or any drive that will take at least an hour. This is not a feature to make them behave while I’m driving, as I don’t have problems with that.
Again, this is “supplemental” to all other things that will be available to them in the car. Thanks for your concern and recommendations, but my question has nothing to do with that.
Only you can make the final decision, but some things to consider if you haven’t:
An add-on overhead screen unit will almost always block your rear-view mirror while driving. Have the store show you how it will be placed in the vehicle while you sit in the driver’s seat; make sure you can stand to drive with a restricted view.
Consider whether it will be possible to change disks in the overhead unit without stopping or without someone unbuckling his/her seat belt. Most overheads have the DVD player built-in, but it might be more practical to pick a system with a separate DVD player that you can control.
The headrest systems can be removed when you’re ready to sell the vehicle, and it can be put back into stock condition. Installing an overhead unit almost always involves cutting the headliner.
It’s true that headrest screens can have problems with seeing the image when the sun is shining on them. The fact that most minivans have some tinting in the rear and side windows helps with this.
You can get headrest covers to protect the screens and make them less obvious to potential thieves when you’re not using them.
It sounds like I’m pushing the headrest screens, and I do think they’re your best option; but only you can decide whether the advantages are worth the extra cost. Either way I hope it turns out well.
I have a Audiovox D1708 portable DVD player. I wanted to use it to play my old PS2 buy couldn’t find a suitable adapter for the RCA cables that I knew would be compatible with my DVD player. I have the input/ output ports so I know it works. If someone could list off a few that might work, I would be really grateful. Thanks!
You probably need the cable for your particular brand of player.
