Thanks for taking the time to reply and for all of your info. Will begin this weekend viewing different brands and consider your advice as well. Thanks again! Steve, this site is great for us all, and I was not trying to take anything away from anyone! Sorry if it appeared that way!

| I was in a Target Store and saw a DVD player with a 5.8" screen that goes into one of those bag units. I thought of you. If you plan on useing the screen not that often, for under 500 dollars something like this might work (although you may want a larger screen). I got one like it for my cousin and we installed it in his truck (dodge) Player under the rear seat and Velcroed the screen to the dash. One week end he gets the kids so he attaches the screen to the dash. when finished he pulls it off and stores it with the player. The only thing we did was to install another power outlet to keep the wireing neater. Not as good if you plan to use it more on a daily basis. | |

Hi Michael! We are looking at 3 different in-dash DVD players (we live in Missouri): 1. Panasonic $2100 2. Kenwood $2300 (has a touch screen) 3. Pioneer $1999 Not sure of the model numbers...do you need those? All 3 have the screen hidden and it ejects out when ready to view. Looking to ground it so we the children and passenger may watch while traveling. They can install it as quick as Monday, Nov. 18! Thanks again for your time! |

In post 21 you say "...hook up to the motorized screen..." Can you give more detail what you mean? Thanks |

actually, post 21 is a reply from 300michael...he seems to be the expert! however, we are having an indash dvd installed tomorrow and they are suppose to install it where it will play all of the time. "he" (a tech there) told me it was very easy to do--all you have to do is one of the following: 1. when installing, do not connect the wire to the emergency brake, just ground it to part of the frame/metal....or nut and bolt.. forgive me, i am not a mechanic--not sure if this is a ground wire--but, it is the wire that connects to the emergency brake (and i am assuming when the brake is engaged, then there is a ground) 2. if it is already installed, then, cut the wire to the emergency brake and ground it to part of the frame/metal--or nut and bolt HOPE THIS HELPS! Am sure other readers could input and describe better than I!! |

My wife and I are looking at Circuit City to get a Roof mount DVD system for the rear seat of my 2001 Escape XLT. The olny ? I have is, will it fit with my having a power sunroof? Odie |

| The models you mentioned will all work, but are on the expensive side unless you want to replace your stereo unit also. I have an Alpine TME1790 or CVA 1003 which is a 7"/6.5" screen. and you would keep your stereo unit. goes for about half the price. Sorry for the delay (vacation). | |

I'd heard to Japanese odyseey could be able to use navi and play dvd in that same screen. Now the 03 accord had the NAVI coming out, would it be possible to modify it and play DVD on it as well? |
