| 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 |

Hello everyone -- I recently bought our family's first SUV and am considering entertainment options for when our kids (now 2 and 5) get older. One of my main concerns (besides saving money) was the ability to just replace if the system dies in five years rather than paying a gazillion dollars to get the dealer to fix an integrated system. While surfing, I found Vizualogic system where rear passengers' screens are on the backs of the front seat headrests and (if desired) the front passenger's is on the visor. What seems to be really cool is that the view is more straightforward than in the roof (ceiling?) mounted systems. My issue is, no one seems to have purchased this. It may be one of those "seems too good to be true" things. Or it may be a legitimately good system that could work for us (once we can pony up the money). Does anyone have any experience with this company/system? |

The only comment I've seen about roof mounted vs. head restraint mounted video is that some people may be more prone to motion sickness with the ones in the seat backs. Does anyone have any experience with both (or a floor mounted console one)? Steve, Host |

| Circuit City I believe has those headrest-mounted ones. You can talk to one of their salespeople (but take everything they say with a grain of salt, obviously, since they want to make a sale). | |

Has anyone tried running the sound from a portable unit into the Factory Sound System somehow? Perhaps through a RF modulator (though I've only seen that done on permanent installs of CD changers, DVD players, etc.....)? I was looking at post # 33 by ocuihs regarding the "Suspension Theater," and thought that might be a good alternative to a built in unit, but I am concerned about the limited sound of such units. For those who use the portable units instead of a built-in, do you find the sound sufficient? ocuihs - Do just use the portable units sound? |
