Hi all




looking to upgrade my stereo to1 that features a DVD player, and a 2 zone system to allow the DVD to play in the rear but the radio etc in the front.


Of course to do this i would need to add in 2 headrest screens, so does anyone have any recomendations? most that i see have DVD inbuilt, but i think i just need a screen as the DVD is coming from the head unit?




many thanks as always

    What car is it?

    Lots of screens to choose from depending on budget.

    Don't bother with fitted headrests unless you are going to keep the car for a long time.

    I've had some of these which I've moved from 3 cars:

    You can get cheaper 7 inch screens.

    I was thinking of changing my car but the one i fancied would be £190 a month for 3 years plus £6500 at the end. Alternatively spend £500 on a new stereo and put rear headrest screens in and keep it for 3 years.

    I get a new stereo and in 3 years potentially have more than £6000

    You might find it better to just get some iPad/Tablet mounts for the rear headrests.

    Then the rear seat passengers have their own individual device and they can use headphones aswell.

    It also means they can play games and surf the Internet with a Bluetooth keyboard.

    Alternatively you could get them to look out of the windows (the ones in the car doors, not Windows) and see what's going on in the real world.
