    best bet for the $$ is to get headrest monitors, and a stereo deck that has a DVD player in it...(www.crutchfield.com has them)no more wires, stuff hanging down. if I had adjustable headrests that would be the route I would go. I did just pickup a dual screen player on ebay at a buy it now price of 134.00 it is made by polaroid. the first one we got didnt work, sent it back and in a week we got the second one. it works, but I'm not going to put a feedback til after our trip to Denver if it breaks then its going back and I'm getting my $ back.

    the only + so far is the seller has been very helpful.

    I have had several sets. All different brands. All have eventually broken. Get the warranty and go with whatever looks the sturdiest. You will likely end up using the warranty.

    By the way last time I just got 2 separate players that had AV in/out capability. That way I can play one movie on both screens, or 2 different movies, and if one breaks I can just replace it, not both. Hinge area is cracked on one player already, but it is still working. I plan to keep it until it completely breaks or the warranty is about to expire, which ever comes first.

    I've considered the head rest option, and using a laptop or other portable player for the movies. But then I don't know about the reliability of the headrest displays

    The dual players is an option, probably a better one. What brand do you have?

    I'm was getting ready to drop $299 on a Nextbase dual player.
