Car DVD systems???

[new_united]

I love head units that have a screen that you can play dvd's on.. i really want to get one for my car, and i was wondering if anyone can suggest a specific model?? can you name some of the best ones and then the ones that don't cost to much but still get the job done and don't look cheap... i was looking at this website

and they seem to have really cheap systems, can anyone confirm if they are any good??

thanks alot for your help

i have one more question.. is it cheaper to just buy a head unit that can play dvds and then buy a screen and install that somewhere else... i.e. in the back of the head rests?? has anyone done this before and do you have pics??

i found 3... the Clarion VRX925VD is the cheapest, does it work well???
the Panasonic CY-VMD9000U about the same price, does it work?? and finally the KENWOOD KVT-911 and is it really worth the extra money...

i cant tell you the cheapest or best.. I can only tell you waht I have .. I have the Alpine IVA-c800 and I use the Play Station 2 to play DVDs on it, thought Ill actually use my laptop for now on instead of th ePS2

you can easily find a screen for under $200, hook up a PS2 or XBox for another $200 (if you don't already have one you could use), then a rf modulator and a power converter for about another $50-$100 (so you can hook the PS2 or XBox up to your system). now that's all for well under $500 and if i'm not mistaken, most of those in-dash dvd players with screens run about $1500+......so you decide. plus with the PS2 or XBoxS setup you'll get to not only watch DVD's but also play games.

do the screens look nice on just the plain LCD ones that don't have the DVD included?? or are they cheap looking... and when your running a cd does the screen pop out and what does that look like?

what would one of the motorized screen look like in a 1G. I can get hooked up with anything pretty cheap but i dont know where to put it.
