Portable DVD vs. Headrest DVD
#1
![Question](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Ok. The thing I think I miss most (or my son misses most) about our Pacifica is that it had the DVD system. Does anyone have experience with the headrest DVD systems in their G's? I don't really want to get the ones you strap onto the seat because they are so bulky but I don't know anyone with the aftermarket headrest screens. I need something that can hook up and play DVD's and can hook up to the common game systems (PS2, PS1, Xbox, GC) as well.
Any thoughts? options? opinions?(wait - might not want those)

Can't you get an aftermarket drop-down that wires into the overhead - similar to what you had in the Pac?
I've seen them so I know it's do-able, just don't know what it would cost. I'd look at aftermarket stereo installers - Circuit City has this one for $799 that has a wireless FM transmitter built in - it's a starting place.
Good luck!

Looks sweet though - thumbs up!

I've seen others that are like an entire overhead console - these looked like smaller pieces.

OK. I went by Tweeter tonight and talked to one of their guys (the usual person I deal with wasn't there). He had several ideas but I am still not sure. He was discouraged about the headrest DVD screens b/c of the slant of the headrests. Gotta find somebody with these so I can see them in person. Had a few ideas about some obscure placements of the DVD with drop-down screens. Not having a good enough cross beam may eliminate the option of the flip downs that Gee suggested.
Going back tomorrow to talk to their "head installer" to see what he can come up with. I'll let you know what they say.

That will likely solve part of my problem. Now just to work out the details about the rest. This kid better appreciate all this work! LOL!!
