are these worth it? what are some good brands?
Answer
I have an older model van and didn't want to put the expense into installing a DVD player in it permanently. We looked into portable DVD players but they seemed unstable and would mount lower than we wanted (most of them mounted in-between the front head rests so that people in the back seat would have a hard time seeing the screen) When we were getting ready to drive to Utah with small children we realized we needed something to keep them entertained. Then we found a dual screen portable DVD player and we love it. It is an RCA 7" 16:9 Portable DVD Player with Dual TFT-LCD Monitors. The two screens can be mounted separately and attach to headrests. (We put one on the front seat headrest and the second on the middle seat headrest) The screen is also the DVD player so there are only the two parts with a cable running between them. The nice thing about the one that we bought is that you can take it with you into a hotel room and it will play the DVD on a regular TV and it also comes with video games that can be played either while the second screen is watching a movie or displayed on a TV. (the video games aren't high graphics but are geared towards younger kids, although we had fun playing them too. Some of them are 80's knock-offs like frogger and centipede) The $200 was well worth the hours of quiet (non-fighting) travel time. Good luck!

Where can I get a good DVD player with Headrest TV screens?
Ben
I was trying to find those headrest TV screens and a DVD player for my 2007 Dodge Ram but can't seem to find anything for my truck. Is there a good place to buy that? I went to Best Buy today and they were clueless and told me that they can only get those for SUV's. Is that true? Why not a truck?
Answer
There probably isn't enough business for a company to build vehicle-specific units for trucks. And at any rate, I've found that the folks at Best Buy are clueless in just about everything.
Here's one source for a generic unit that replaces the factory headrests. The mount is adjustable from 4-7" so it will fit most vehicles. Just measure the "posts" on your headrests to see if it fits. These are delivered with black, gray, and tan covers.

Crutchfield will tell you if they fit.
If you are a first-time purchaser at Crutchfield you can get a $20 discount off a $200 order if you use a "friend referral code" such as mine, which is: p7sdj-hrx8q-9800g, plus free shipping. Oh!, I get a $20 merchandise credit too.
