I bought it for my 2001 Caravan. I converted the harness to use the newer radio (2002 - 2006). I had already modified the radio/DVD harness to use a generic RF transmitter for the wireless headphones. But when this radio became available, I jumped at it. Many of you know that it is fairly difficult to find and tends to be pricey.
The kicker is that I got it for $24.99 plus $13 for shipping! Yup, $38 for a nice RBU radio!
Good luck.
Don't believe that is true. The power to the CD/DVD player needs to be unswitched power, otherwise it reboots itself every time you start the car (ask me how I know). Pin 1 or 7 (depending on year) of the CD/DVD player needs to be hot all the time (from factory service manual). Pin 11 is a signal from the radio that tells the player when the car is on or off.
I just picked up a 2005 Chrysler T&G Limited. It has all options including sunroof ; except DVD screen. Can I buy a used screen and place where the digital climate control is. Is it pre-wired or will I have to buy a special harness?
Thank you,

The harness is not installed. You have to install it. My suggestion would be to find a correct factory kit that includes the brackets and cables.
Thank you,

I commute in and out of the pot-holed/bumpy streets of manhattan.
Looking for 10"+, all-in-one-unit, good skip-resistance, 1024*600
Any recommends?
Not sure about the resolution, to be honest. It's decent, not fantastic, but not bad.
The DVD has never skipped, at least not yet. I've had it about 10 months now.
It comes with a remote. The built-in games are sort of lame, but I didn't care for that feature anyway so I just ignore it.
[non-permissible content removed].com is the biggest oneline shop selling car DVD players in China.
We're considering getting a portable dvd player, but want one with 3 headphone jacks. Ideally, wireless headphones. This seems to be a problem -- most have 2. Perhaps we can get an adapter for headphones with wires, plus one wireless headphone. We don't want a junky brand (Insignia). We would like 10" screen or bigger so the back seat kid can see well. If we can't get 3 kids listening to one player, we'd probably get 2 portable players.
Overhead players seem too pricey, but if there's a really good one out there I'd like to know. I had heard Jensen made good ones, but I can't find any! Best Buy had Alpine and Insignia. I heard Insignia would be a poor choice, not sure about Alpine ($700). Neither were on sale.
Headrest dvd players are another option. We don't want to replace our actual headrests, maybe just get those flat screens that strap over them. But, I can't find many reviews. This is my personal favorite option, but I don't know anyone who has a headrest dvd player and don't know anything about the different brands. If we go this route, we'd probably get the two-screen player (one is a dummy screen and plays the same thing as the screen with the actual player).
Any help is appreciated! To those of you with 3 kids (or more) -- do they fight over what movies to play or how to tilt screens or sound levels? Do headphones have individual sound control? I'm curious about things like that too.
The headrests, IMHO, are a last resort and best used in cars because you don't have any other option. also I don't like the monitors that close to the kid's face and the viewing angle.
Yes the overhead unit is a bit more expensive but I think you will be much happier. If money is truly a factor, just get the portable unit with two screens. This will be your cheapest option.
Go for it. Try Best Buy or a competitor since CC is out of business.

The only catch is it blocks the pass-through to the rear seats. That probably doesn't matter once the kids are past toddler age, though.
Is that mount easy to remove?
Do you leave it in the car, or remove it each time?
And do the front seats have to be lined up with each other? Shouldn't matter too much as vans have plenty of legroom for everyone.
I just got one of those visor mounted DVD holders to remind us to use ours more often. Before they were in the door, and we had to fish for them.

I think a headrest car DVD will be suitable for kids, it can effectively end your kids complaining about how old your choice of music is. Unless you want to listen to everything your passengers watch (which can be very distracting), you'll need to check out your audio options. Some in-car DVD players play the audio through the car's stereo system, subjecting everyone to the same sounds. Others allow passengers to plug headphones into jacks near their seats to select the audio they choose. In this scenario, the audio the driver selects is played over the car's stereo. Still others have wireless headphones that allow passengers to choose their audio. :lemon:
