Car headrest monitor dvd players are helping entertain kids in your car! Ok, So everyone is always asking how do I entertain my kids in the car when were are traveling or going on some sort of road trip? Kids today are not as easy to occupy in a digital world. In the past reading a book, looking out the window, or counting cars would suffice. Not anymore. Parents are constantly looking for a way to make the road more enjoyable for their children as well as for themselves. There is nothing harder than concentrating on the road while your children are in the back seat fighting, arguing, hitting each other, or screaming. So this is for you parents out there that have been there, done that, with your kids in your car and had no success.

Believe it or not, most new vehicles today have some sort of In-car entertainment system. Such as a DVD player and monitor. Unfortunately, not everyone owns a new car, and for those that are lucky enough to purchase one, the price of a Factory installed DVD monitor entertainment system is in the $1000's.

If that is not an option for you, luckily there are now a large selection of entertainment packages that can be installed in any vehicle for a very reasonable price. Many as little as $100. Some of these options are aftermarket Headrest Monitors with built in DVD player, Flip down or Roof mount as they are sometimes called DVD monitors, and one of the latest options available is a Center console or Armrest Monitor with built in DVD player. Now for a little information on each type and benefits of having one installed in your vehicle.

Headrest Monitors with built in DVD players are the absolute most popular style. They come in 2 common style. Built into the headrest and Portable or Mount style. Both have the options of standard screen controls as well as touch screen models. They come standard with Built in speakers, wireless headphones, gaming CDs and controllers, and FM transmitters which allow the sound from the DVD players to play wirelessly directly through your vehicles speakers. Most are easily removable as well when not in use. Headrest Monitors are a great and affordable way to add a mobile video entertainment system to your vehicle.



Flip Down or Roof Mount DVD monitors are another common addition to many new vehicles. More geared toward SUV's and Vans, these units are mounted to the center of the roof liner of your vehicle directly behind the driver and passenger seats. They come in sizes from 7" up to 25" and can provide hours of enjoyment watching DVD's to the rear passengers. These also come standard with the many options stated above with the headrest monitors. Flip down monitor DVD players are a good choice as when not in use, the fold away, tight to the roof liner and are unseen. Prices start in the low $100 range.

Now, the Center Console or Armrest DVD player is new to the car video market.
One of the easiest to install and most universal products, it mounts directly over the back of your vehicles center console, in between your seats. The console monitor DVD player has a swivel screen, which moves right and left and allows for a perfect viewing angle from any position. Once again, all the same built in features as Headrest and Overhead DVD players. Console DVD monitors are quickly rising in popularity and are becoming the preferred choice of vehicle owners.

You would be amazed at how quiet your vehicle can be with the addition of DVD system and your children and other passengers will thank you for it.

How To Install Headrest Monitor Dvd Players In Your Car Guide

A lot of people are always searching for information on how to install headrest monitors in their specific vehicle. We thought we would address that issue for you buyers out there who are looking for a step by step guide. Remember, this is just a guide to installing some of our headrest DVD player monitors. Each installation will differ from vehicle to vehicle.

First thing you will want to do is remove your factory headrest. In many cases, this is done by pressing a button at the base of the headrest post on the top of the seat. Once pressed, you should be able to slide the headrest and posts upward until they are removed leaving the 2 post holes available on the top of your seat.

Next you will want to take your headrest monitor DVD players and gently pull apart on the headrest posts until the are the exact same distance apart as your factory headrest post. Next, if your seats have removable backings, thank God. No, really, that makes it very easy to continue. Remove the back of your seats if available. Take the headrest monitors with the two posts ( note the power cable is pre run through the headrest post already ) and drop the headrest into position through the post holes on the top of your seats. Be sure to pull the cables that were run through your headrest monitor posts, down to the bottom of your seat. This is where the wiring connection to the power harness will be made.

Now that you have the headrests in position and the headrest monitor cable pulled through, take your power harness which has your RCA connections and Power wires as well as your cigarette adapter connection, and using the S-Video type of connector, Plug it into your headrest cable. ( Be sure to be gentle when plugging the two cables together, as to not damage the little "pins" in the connector )

Once connected you can now put the back of your seat cover in place if it was removed for your installation. Now you have 2 options to choose from for powering your headrest DVD monitor. You can simply take the cigarette adapter which was included in all our headrest monitor DVD packages, and plug it into the power harness adapter. Once plugged in, take the cigarette adapter end and plug that directly into your vehicles 12 V outlet. If you do not want to use the cigarette adapters and would like to hardwire the power harness, read on.

Now you have the power harness connected to the headrest monitors below the seat and you have your standard red/black 2 wire connection. The red wire is for Power, and the black wire is for Ground. Take the black wire and secure it below the seat to the vehicle. The best option for this is usually to loosen one of the bolts that hold down the actual frame of the vehicle seat to the vehicle. Then take the black wire, and secure it underneath that seat from bolt.

Now, for the red wire ( power ) you have a few options, you can connect it to the vehicles battery which requires running a long lead wire from the battery back to and under your seat. We recommend for easy access to power, to tap into your vehicles power seat wire or even the power lead in the center console if available. The red wire can be connected using a standard crimp cap or other crimp connection. Once the Red and black wires are connected, turn on your DVD player and enjoy your favorite movie.

Now, the last option would be to use some Universal Mount headrest Monitor dvd Players and skip the entire installation process :-D
