Crewcab DVD player

Has anyone installed a DVD player in their crewcab superduty? Built-in to seat backs, hang from ceiling or portable?

I hope the Mod does'nt move this to the audio forum, I am interested in Superduty feedback only

I put the pioneer AVH-P7500 in the dash, with a 14.1" drop down in the ceiling. Maybe a little over-kill, but my 3 year old loves watching it from his seat!

I'm seriously considering the in-dash Alpine unit or a monitor style on the passenger sun-visor. Haven't made a decision yet tho.

5.6 in. monitors in the headrests and mounted the dvd player in the center console. It plays sound over the stereo, it's like home theater.

Cost of screen

Very nice setup. How does the screen perform in cold weather? Where did you get the screen and how much? My only problem would be that my overhead console would not allow the screen to be folded up all the way.

I was gonna install the head rest units and a DVD player in my CC, but I also need one in my Expedition. I found a really nice portable DVD player from G2G gear. It has two 7in wide screens, one is seperate, the other is attached to the DVD. I got it at Sams Club for $399.00. The screens are crystal clear and have a very wide viewing angle. The link is below.

later

I installed a 5.6" screen in each of the headrests and put the dvd player under the back seat. I also got the RF modulator so I can have the sound running through the stereo system. I pieced together the whole system at Fry's electronics for about $500.00. I will try and get some pictures of it in my gallery this afternoon.

BadFord, Where did you get the overhead console? That looks pretty cool? Also, do you know if they make a version for those Crew Cabs with a sunroof?

Thanks
