    You can MAC out the DVD for $1500 or so, and that's not Tom pricing. That's replacing your headrests with new ones that have DVD screens mounted in them, and 2 DVD players mounted in the console. Wireless headphones and the lot for the kids. For $1200 or so, you can do a ceiling console just like stock with a single DVD player up front in your console (or one in the ceiling with the screen), it'll play games and all kinds of stuff that stock won't do, and you can get it much larger than stock (7", you could do 10"+ if you wanted).

    I'm hoping Tom can come in <$1000 for a SWEET setup, installed. And I'm hoping NAV can come in for <$1000 as well, but that's harder as there's going to be some custom plastic housing fabrication required, I'll bet...

    Just curious -

    Couldn't you buy 3 portable DVD players so each kid could watch their own DVDs and also be able to use them out of the car for less than that?

    Yep, and then I'd have to worry about them holding them/tossing them/dropping them/forgetting them. It's FAR easier to hook it into the car permanently - I have a DVD player at home and a portable player for plane rides.

    Metromedia Fiber Network- MFN

    Finally jumped on the tech bubble for 4k of this stock sometime around the year 2000. Up to 10k in 6 months. A year later, it was worth about 2 cents. :notworthy
