In car DVD

Post by clement » Wed Apr 17, 2013 8:58 pm

Has anyone got any recommendations for an in-car DVD set up, not too pricy though,
Thinking of roof mounted.
Cheers.

Couple of cheap DVD screens on the back of the head rests - the kids soon grow out of them- ours are never used in the car now - kids either listen to their iPods or play on their DS's - or in Cassie's case, reads a book :shock:

Freelander headrest - £100
Two cheap ipods - £80 in total
Couple of leads etc £30 ish

Wow!
Our's watch it every second they are in the car! Perfect, no are we there yet's....

Think I have a pair of the Freelander screen headrests somewhere like Stu has fitted.. Blue if I remember though so would need re staining if that bothered you. I would go for fixed headrests or roof mount if possible as some nasty stories of what happens to strapped on DVD players if they come loose in a prang....

Can I borrow one of your screens to test mine?

Thought you'd flogged them, I'm sure i asked you a while ago! That's the trouble with old people - they go senile.
