Does anyone have either a flip down dvd player or the dvd players in the headrests of their car/van/truck/suv? If you can you please tell me the pros and cons of them. We are looking to get one or the other for our dodge sport caravan for long trips that we take with 3 kids under the age of 8. If you could please also state how much you paid for it, where you got it from, and where you got it installed and the cost of the instillation. Thanks!
We already have 2 portable dvd players and want something for the van that does not have all of the cords with a 7yo, 5yo, and 3yo who the cords are always getting ripped out when they move in and out of the van. And they pop out so the 3 year old is always touching the screen and opening it and slamming it shut (broke one of them so that you can only use the screen when the other one is playing a movie). We paid over $250 for them they came as a pair and are ment to be straped to the back of the headrests but can also be used out side of the car. We are going to keep them for our ford focus but want something that has all the wires hiden and so on for our new van. Thanks though!

Personally, I'm for portable DVD players you attach to the headrest but that can be used outside of the vehicle as well. We have had 2 portable DVD players that have been incredibly reliable and both were purchased at Wal-Mart. The first was a Cody model w/ a 7" screen (cost: approx. $80 on sale). This player went everywhere with us; car trips, airplane rides, etc. It came in handy while waiting in the airport, gave us entertainment & a place to play our Disney Scene It! game during a rain-soaked family camping trip, even allowed me to watch a movie while she was watching a cartoon at the hotel. It was stolen last summer which is why we purchase our second one, a tablet style model who brand name is completely escaping my mind, anyways it was $150 but comes with a battery that holds a charge for several hours (we've played 2.5 fairly long (90-120 minutes each) movies before it said to charge it).
My only advice with the portable models is to get one that either allows the screen to be swiveled & folded flat against the player while viewing or a tablet-style model. It will hold nicely against the back of the headrest and won't take up too much room.

Ok so I bought this headrest dvd player from ebay and the sounds is not working. Everything (video) except the sound is working. Can you please tell me what is wrong with it. And by the way i'm installing it on a Chevy Avalanche 2008.
Answer
there should be speaker wires running from the dvd player out of the headrest, youve got to tie those wires into your factory speakers to get sound unless youve got on with built in speakers, but those are rare
