Ceiling mount dvd

[usaf2006]

Have a trip from Georgia to Michigan this summer with the kids. Want to install a ceiling mount dvd screen. Anyone ever do this?

Thanks!

Dvd player

Found this online. Decent price, no reviews tho..

These things are about as dated as CDs. Just get a headrest tablet mount.

Not a table fan, as I have loads of dvds in the minivan already. Only headrest dvd screens I can find are bookoo dollars

Get something like this, we had something like this in our minivan for years when the kids were growing up.

I installed one in my truck a year ago. Fairly easy to install. I have since ran an rca cable from my tv to my aftermarket stereo for dual zone control.

Depending on the number of kids you are transporting (man that sounds insensitive), here is a cost-effective idea. I agree the DVD player in the roof is outdated but I hear ya on all the DVDs. If you can find the time, this is precisely what I would do.

Buy $50 Amazon fire tablets for each child. Get headphones to go with them. Buy the Western Digital MyPassport storage device. It has 3+ TB of storage. Burn all the DVDs in your collection (Mac user, use Handbrake, PC User tons of apps)and put them on the Passport. Now EACH child can watch what he/she wants out of your entire collection and you don't need to haul that DVD library. You then have happy kids with cheap tablets, happy spouse in the passenger seat, and the means to watch all of these videos anytime you want vis-a-vis wifi (planes, trains, automobiles and of course home). It can also simultaneously back up your data files.

You don't have to pay someone (or God help you, do it yourself) to install an aftermarket DVD player in your roof. Win-win-win.


Good luck on your project!

Socal, There should have been a mic-drop after that post.

The mods can now lock out this thread.

I did the same since the boys have iPads. Worked great!
