My rear entertainment

After some thunking about what to do about the lack of a dvd player for my boy, i settled on these.
Xtrons HD101 units.
Same movie on both 10.1inch screens or seperate movies as both have built in dvd player, usb and sd slots. Hdmi slot for linking your phone or tab.
Also plays 32bit games from a dvd. I got all the classics for the boy as he loves pacman and all that old arcade stuff after watching the newish pixels movie
Functionality of the tv itself is huge, so many options to change and play with its brilliant.
Good quality wireless headphones as well!
Easy to install being clipped onto the head rest posts and in seconds can be removed if you live in a pikey area�� plus you can keep it for any car as you get multiple headrest post spacers.
Comes with cigarette plug and a hardwire option. Can be a stand alone system or with the supplied leads you can plum it into the av1 or av2 phono leads in the back and run the movie through the main front screen which is a nice touch!
Well worth the £175 I paid to keep the boy happy!!

I am keep toying with the idea of the RSE for some time now.
OEM is what I prefer, but then resolution of the screen is poor.
So if you are considering an aftermarket kit not for silly money this is the way to go after playing with it for a while on the back of the Rick's car.
The quality of the actual screen and picture is fantastic
Quality of the sound and wireless headphones is great
The way it all fits and how easy the entire system can be removed is fantastic
Input and output options are all there

Great piece of kit Rick +++

With the title of this thread, I thought I'd strayed onto the wrong site for a moment! :o

I also have been wanting to do this. My only hang up on these units is to do with the cabling. I liked the idea of the wires passing through the headrest support pillars but with these the cables would be external.
How have you hiddent these wires?
I notice from your photos that your seat backs are different to mine. My preformed back covers finish just above the drop down portion.

i tried to get wiring down the pole of my D3 headrests, i guess it depends which you have they seem to vary, but oncle apart there are not 2 seprate poles, its a one piece afair that bends round , its also not thick enough to pass anything but wires through so you would have to cust of the plugs that come with the aftermarket sets and then rewire.

you would also need to cut a hole to feed them in , which i wasnt willing to do, as it would affect the safety of the headrest, if the monitor is set in to headrest you dont notice the wire too much, its only an inch or two. not sure how these ones attached to the poles would look. but its probably the way i will go in the next car.

this looks ideal, any chance of a shot with a decent dvd film on there? just to see the picture quality.

cheers

I ran all my cables down the back of seat to the footwell, temporarily from there out to the side trim and back under the rear seats. Until i can get a proper look under the seats and find a better route. But for now it will do. Im not going to hard wire the power, instead i will feed it from the 12v socket in the boot.
Put avatar and robots on and took some pictures for ya but i think the phone was to close as its done that thing when you look at a screen through a lens and it looks odd with wavy lines. The robots one is better, other screen so further away.

Looks spot on mate. Got a 4 year old so this just might be trick.👍

And the best bit is these classic games!
At the mo i got super mario bros 1 2 and 3, space invaders, pac man, paperboy and various others. All play from the dvd rom. Bloody excellent and my 9 yr old is made up with it!

The quality is very very good, for the money is just unreal how good the whole kit is. I couldn't find a single problem with it and I've tried, only due to the fact that I'm set for putting OEM stuff. This kit got me thinking if OEM is way to go because I want them for is to send the signal from the tv tuner. With this kit all I can do all that still and much more.
Movie quality was great +++
