need a good DVD player

I want a good quality roof mounted DVD player which could fold and flip on touch of a button...

I talked to a few install shops and none wanted to dig into the head liner, when they could do the head rest monitors.

They were quoting 1700-2000 for the install including the 8-10 inch screen.

The vizualogic (sp?) dual head rest monitors is probably the way to go.

I ended up with two Zeon dvd players from best by for 300.00 (the ones you put your digital Ipod in). they zip tie to the back of the headrest post, plug into a cigarette lighter and your done. when my lease is up or if I go to the airport, I will clip them out.

Obviously this is not a perfect solution, but for 300.00 who cares.

hey, psoas, that sounds like a good solution. I drive the family limo aka GL and sometimes kids end up in 3rd row which they hate since they can't see the factory RSE. Post the pics of your setup since I think that is a good solution for 3rd row entertainment.

I don't know how they would be for the third row, unless the kids were bigger to see them attached to the headrest from the front seats. I dont see any reason why you couldnt pick up two more or just move one to the backseat head rest.

I am dont know how to post pics. If someone wants to pm me an email, I have good pics of the tv's, 22" rims and ss running boards.

I meant I would attach them to the headrest on the 2nd row seats. I have factory RSE but am looking for an alternate for the kids when they are in 3rd row.
