Retro-fit Dvd Player

[jmoo2]

Does anybody know if I can get a DVD Player installed for watching from the back. I have a sunroof so not sure if there would be room? Back seat sounds complicated (expensive) and the front would be too far I think (but I'm willing to explore those scenarios).

I have a 2003 model if it makes a difference.

If someone has had this done, what DVD player did you get (Ford supplied?) and at what cost?

Thanks in advance,

James

Installed permanently or temporarily? The latter is easy as you can find fairly cheap kits that use screens that just hang on the head rests and the unit(s) plug into the 12V source making them portable from vehicle to vehicle and can also be removed for added security (out of sight, out of mind for most thieves).

Good point. I was thinking permanently but I guess I could look at the temp option. I guess it depends on how difficult the permanent option is.

option audio have a screen that is already mounted in a headrest that look very similar to the xr ones. One screen has the dvd player in it. (this screen filps up and the dvd goes in behind) and the other screen just runs off that dvd. So all is required is to put in the headrests run some power to them then run a cable for the dvd unit to the other unit. It is about 700 for the pair. They also have extra video and audio out so you could play it on you front screen too if you had a converter. I havent got them myself but have done a bit of research and people that I have spoken to seem happy with them.

I think there was a member not long ago selling a complete setup with the screens in the back of the front head rest's. Not to sure if it is still for sale but you could have a look in the for sale thread

Most of the large department stores such as K-mart, Target etc have the portable DVDs with the screens that slip over your headrests, they are around $350.
