Reply With QuoteI have played around with a few options in a previous car (Nissan import) but does not really make a difference the car brand for this topic. I have started working on these options on my VW Transporter but my kids are older now so Ipad's work well.
I first tried a portable twin DVD player from **** Smith which was terrible. I returned this for a single portable DVD played with a bag that mounted between the front seats and this unti was very good and has provided use for over 8 years with no problems.
I then bought some DVD headrests with 7" monitor from Ebay (china) which worked well for the first couple of years. The fit was good provided you make sure you choose a unit with compatible pole size and width between the poles. These were a tan vinyl which were a fairly good match for my leather seats. My units were hinged on the top edge to put in DVD. These units also had games on a CD. The games were basically unused as they are very simple and not worth worrying about.
The DVD's played well on most roads with very few problems. After a couple years of use I found that the DVD's seemed to be more fragile and skipping and other irregularities became more frequent with some discs just not playing.
If I was to do it again, I would put in headrest monitors that played off another source. I have had a lot of success playing movies from Ipods or Iphones. I find these very good as there is no skipping and the screen size is small enough to display very well.
I installed the headrests myself as I found it quite easy.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Andy
