#66 of 397 Overhead LCD unit for a Toyota Sienna by basement_trout Jan 16, 2004 (9:08 pm)
I'm not finding anyone (besides the two on Amazon) who have the Audiovox Overhead DVD LCD system (VOD 806). I would like to here some life experience with this model vs. say the Sony Mobile DVD Dream System. I'm interested in hearing about the smaller screens (Sony's is only 7" dia.) and where anyone has had the DVD player put on a 2003 Sienna. (I don't have a center console and I didn't want it installed under the middle row captain's chairs.) Thanks.

A magazine reporter is looking to interview automotive technophiles who have DVD players, MP3 players, satellite radio and/or surround systems in their cars and cannot wait for the next big thing to come so they can add it to their rolling entertainment centers. Please respond no later than Wednesday, February 4 to jfallonedmunds.com with your daytime contact info, make/model of vehicle and a sense of the entertainment technology you have and aspire to own. Thanks! Jeannine Fallon PR Director Edmunds.com
#68 of 397 Drop down DVD for new Chevy Venture by tantemommy Feb 15, 2004 (7:41 am)
We're considering buying a new Chevy Venture. We would prefer to buy the model without the DVD and add it ourselves. We can't quite figure out if it's possible to install it because the rear audio and air controls are where the DVD would go. When it comes factory the air, audio and DVD all come together.   Thanks - Stephanie
#69 of 397 in dash dvd players by nwng Feb 18, 2004 (2:42 pm)
I saw two din size dvd/cd player made by alpine and panasonic. They're just cd/dvd players with no motorized screen. I wonder if it can work with a separate lcd screen that flips down.   The dvd/cd player costs about $500, an individual lcd screen (10.5") costs about $800 and it comes with wireless headphones. By putting the player in the factory receiver opening, you can have access to the car audio system and play your regular cd if you're not watching a movie. I think the trick is to feed the audio signal from the screen to the dash receiver.   Anyone has any idea how this works?   thanks

Does anyone have any experience with the portable DVD system made by Karview? (see www.karview.com)
#71 of 397 Should we buy factory installed DVD by jack1619 May 25, 2004 (6:20 am)
or should we save the $1500 and install an aftermarket version? If so will it look like crap and be a safety issue (flying around in an accident). What type do people recommend. We are looking at Minivans (Sienna, Odyssey and Town and Country) Thanks, Jack
#72 of 397 DVD System in Dodge Ram by jazzyroo May 25, 2004 (1:59 pm)
I have a question, I just bought a Dodge Ram, which has the same stereo system as my Chrysler T&C. I have a Factory DVD system in the Chrysler (it has a sunroof as well - someone asked about that earlier) and it works great, the Dodge dealer stated that they don't have a factory DVD for the Dodge so they installed an aftermarket type. They used some type of RF modulator and so now, if I leave town, it doesn't work, it gets fuzzy through the speakers and then completely is gone. The CD/Tape system in my Chrysler has a "mode" button on it which allows me to change from CD to DVD, this stereo in the Dodge has the same button, but since the system is not hooked up to the stereo in the same way, the button doesn't work. Does anyone know how I can get this aftermarket system that the dealership had installed to go through the stereo using this button rather than the FM stereo and toggle switch system which does NOT work past 50 miles out of the city??? My children love to watch the movies when we travel, and I like to listen to them, the headsets are very expensive and I don't want to have to buy additional sets for the kids (they only come with 2 and it is over $50 per headset after that) nor do the headsets work well, they are too big for my children and have to be on - just right - or they don't work, since they are wireless, I don't know if I could replace them with another type.... Unfortunately, this system is useless to me in it's current state. Thank you
#73 of 397 DVD+R ability by carguy1234 Jun 03, 2004 (4:59 am)
Does anybody know which aftermarket DVD players can play DVD +R (recorded) discs? Some say they can play DVD -R, but I know from experience that many home players can play DVD +R's, even though they don't mention support for that in their specs.   Thanks
#74 of 397 Re: power acoustik [deepan #59] by teeball2 Jun 06, 2004 (8:02 am)
Replying to: deepan (Nov 18, 2003 8:16 am) According to JD Power customer satisfaction survey for Rear Seat DVD systems, Panasonic products ranked #1-12 in the top 20 systems in vehicles rated in production. They had products in GM trucks, Honda's Odyssey, and a few Nissans, but must have the right formula on ease of use, screen quality, etc...as they dominated the market survey. I have an Audiovox system in my Chrysler Pacifica and it is very un-reliable and cumbersome to use. So I started looking around at the market data and found that JD power info...good luck!
