What are the '13s going to have as far as DVD players or overhead screens?

I guess this is no longer mandatory but my '10 has the 7" overhead screen/headphone setup as well as an AUX(with video) jack input on the center console. When we travel the kids(and wife sometimes) will watch a video or plug up an iPad to use through the overhead display.

I've been looking to see what Chrysler/Ram options were going to be released for the '13 and newer trucks but haven't found anything yet. Has anyone seen anything announced on this? With the new 8.4 head/controller and no DVD built in I'm wondering if there will even be an option.

I'm trying to think if it was an option... I wouldn't get it if it was however. It's cheaper to buy a used iPad or new mini, plus we have 4 iPads and 3 iPhones so we're never short on devices to watch movies on. IMO in car entertainment is dying off due to the tablet and smart phones. We have one in our Envlave that's never been used.

I bought 2, single portable DVD players which velcro around the headrest for our kids from Wal-Mart for $90. they work great, and we can bring them into hotel room etc to use as players and/or screens plus they're tucked out of sight when not in use to deter theft.
They have the added benefit of each kid watching their own movie unlike most DVD screens which seem to be dual screen. How many times do a 6 and 3 year old want to watch the same thing?
