Car DVD players are more popular than ever now. For family vehicles, they have almost moved from the status of optional accessory to required standard equipment. Most new vehicles offer systems that are integrated into the upholstery. But what if you drive an older vehicle and want to add the capability to play DVDs? Don’t worry, there is a full range of car DVD players that can be fitted to practically any vehicle, and they can be purchased for a surprisingly affordable price.
If you take car trips with toddlers or teens, a car DVD player is a must. It seems that old-fashioned road games like spotting license plates just don’t meet the requirements of today’s youth. Providing this entertainment for your children in the car may seem a little like giving in to modern times. But believe me, once you install a system, you will wonder why you waited so long.
Installation is not terribly difficult. When you are adding a car DVD player to your vehicle, you will probably want to go with something that attaches to the seats. Roof mounted players are nice but more difficult to attach.
If you have more than one child and there is a wide age range, you’ll definitely want dual screens with the capability to stream different content to each one. The teens and tweens are going to choose entirely different shows than your toddlers and grade-schoolers. You will also want to opt for wireless headphones so each viewer can listen to the show they are watching-and so you can drive in peace without listening to the “Finding Nemo” soundtrack for the umpteenth time.
One advantage you have by adding a player to your car is that it can also be taken into your hotel room or perched on the picnic table. Basic car DVD players can be purchased for around $300 on auction sites like eBay. Higher end models that offer GPS support, Bluetooth and other entertainment upgrades will range in cost up to $700 or so.
