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!! |

| 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? |

Our system is a 9" portable DVD player (also take it with us to hotels, airplanes, etc). We bought a $99.99 product called "Suspension Theater" to hold the player in cars. It has the following features: 1. Suspends the portable DVD player at the ideal viewing height and is easy to install. 2. Transforms easily into a carrying case with reinforced rubber handle and padded no-slip shoulder strap. 3. Installs in minutes and adapts to virtually any vehicle. 4. Requires no permanent installation. Product available at BestBuy.com (not available in BestBuy retail stores) Click here for Suspension Theater |

| Will not play movies. You would need an additional DVD player. | |
