2013 Lexus RX 350 DVD Entertainment System

I'll be picking up our 2013 RX 350 this Friday. I wanted to find out if anyone has had experience with the Rosen dual head rest dvd system. The dealer is charging me $1750, but it is purchased and installed by a local custom audio shop who sells it for $1700. The system controls are not connected to the main Lexus stereo and it is played through a radio system if you are not using the headsets. I did a quick search and found comprable systems for much less and have even considered buying 2 refurb iPads instead. Your thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I love the iPad idea (got a refurb here). About the only positive about buying something from the dealer is that you may get a better warranty than buying a cheaper DVD system from another shop. Sounds like the system integration isn't too slick with the rest of the stereo though.

I guess you'd have fewer flying projectiles in case of an accident with a headrest system.
