DVD Player for VE Sedan

[The X Man]

I have a Series II and the kids want to watch DVD's in the back whilst on long trips. I have the option to either buy those tackly ones that strap around the headrests or i can go for a more customized option of either having screens built into the headrests or buy a roof type DVD player.

I haven't seen any headrest replacements that are fabric, they all are leather or vinyl so this won't work.

Any ideas?

My VE came with the on installed on roof, works fine not that I use it much.

My car is a series 1 but the concept is the same. Check out the pictures in this thread http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/ve-holden-commodore-2006/149143-my-ve-sv6-sidi.html

I personally hate roof mounted screens as you loose your rear vision mirror and I agree that the screens that strap on are tacky.

I purchased the screens myself and fitted them to the leather headrest. It is actually very easy!

This is the type of thing I would install - if I ever want to do so. www.price-testR.org

I did look at fitting aftermarket headrests but they are all leather or vinyl, i have fabric trim so these aftermarket jobs would look shithouse.

Totally agree. Thats why I ended up doing it myself.

i dont care about mirror if it keeps kids quiet on long hauls....

On my SS, I asked to have a DVD as an option. Because the car was already in stock (and had a sunrood) they had an aftermarket one fitted. Ended up being much better. It was a roof mounted Alpine 10" jobby and its one of the best on the market. The big problem with the factory Blaupunkt ones is they break the hinge. This thing would never have broken.

We do about 15-20 600km plus trips a year. My wife does a bit of the driving and I would prefer to make it as easy and safe as possible.

I also dont like the idea of the kids heads/necks angled up to the roof for along time. In the back of the headrest solved all the problems and it look good to!
