You indash DVD unit usually has a hideaway unit that allows extra sources to be plugged in, so you should be able to install extra screens to it.

my in-dash TV actually has 2 inputs, and my in dash dvd player only has one output I ran through a soundstream video amplifier (1 input 5 output to TV's) but the key is using good RCA wires, if you pinch pennies your going to get engine noise

I forgot to mention..the 1/2 DIN DVD player he has and the screen cost him just under $400...much cheaper then an indash unit plus you get the custom look to it...

man that is a clean install

I just used a "Male Right Angle Ai-Net to Female RCA Cable." connected from a portable dvd player for my dvd setup.

I have a dvd player in my car and it cost me $15 total because I got the portable dvd player as a x-mas gift so all I needed to get was that connector and use my headunits aux jack. It's ghetto but who else has a dvd player that looks great and sound's excellent thru a car stereo for $15.

too true, I cannont divuldge where I found my headrest TVs **COUGH Wal-MART COUGH**

but thye came with a portable DVD that my son uses when ever he goes elsewhere but I took the monitors apart and permanetly mounted them. It was a littel work but I like a good challange. Paid Just under $400 for all, including materials.
