DVD with moonroof?

I have a 2001 expedition with a moonroof. It has rear air and I want to install a dvd system. Can I do this with the moonroof? If so, I'd like one that has the DVD and monitor built together. What brands do you suggest. I like the Delphi and the Power acoustics. Both are compact and have large screens. Any thoughts on install or experience would be helpful.

Any thoughts about putting the screens in the headrests instead of mounting one big one in the ceiling? Makes for a super clean install and would solve your moonroof issue.

I have a 2004 EB expedition with NAV Radio and I want to do the same thing... I would consider headrest monitors, however how can I tie into the audio system? I can't find ANY wiring harness(es) for the NAV radio...

Are there any good sites or tips?

thanks
mike

I've posted this picture a bunch of times so I apologize to those who keep seeing this. I had the same dilemma a couple of years ago and couldn't really figure out how to install the monitor with the moonroof, so I went a different route. It was hard to find good information so I'm happy to share my set-up info. I agree that the easist/best route is to mount two smaller monitors in the seat backs. I've also seen posts about poeple making their own mounting bracket to go under the moonroof but have not seen pictures.

Below is the monitor in my '00 Expedition. The DVD player is under the passenger seat. My kids are too young to operate it so it had to be accessible from the front seats. The problem is that I don't think the bezel is available anymore. I bought it for $50 from Crutchfield.
