Customer Reviews

We have Buick Terraza, in which the factory entertainment system failed. We shopped around, and decided on this product, hoping that it would work in the car and be fairly easy to install, having a trip coming the very next day. Well, it works in the car great, but installing was fairly tricky. What made it tricky was the wiring - because of the rear climate controls are wired through the factory entertainment system wiring harness. We did have to get the wiring schematics for our vehicle, in order to be able to cut out the factory wiring harness so the rear climate control and rear speakers would function properly. Once the right schematics were found, it wasn't that tough, we just needed to follow carefully where to cut and what wires to connect together. Mounting it to the roof was not easy, and if the product would have been slightly larger, we couldn't have used the factory installed DVD placing. The instruction manual was only used for determining wire leads.
Besides installation, the DVD itself and the quality is really great. Coming from our factory installed DVD - which now seems teeny - the screen is huge and is easily seen from the back seats, where the children sit. Oh, and we understand how screens are measured, so we were prepared. The swiveling is so easy to use, to tilt towards any direction to see better (in the back seat), or to use from the front passenger seat or driver's seat to change a setting.
The one caveat I have with this system is the remote control (or lack thereof). If I wouldn't have found the remote, this review would be very different - hence why I gave the controls only 3 stars. We lost the remote for a period of a couple weeks, and without the remote control, it is near impossible to use the DVD controls (on the unit itself) to watch a movie. We had several different movies that got stuck in the 'special features' section of the DVD and we could not get it to play the movie. I would have had to try to contact the manufacturer for a replacement remote, if I had not finally found the thing. So, if you value your sanity while having cranky kids in the car, DO NOT LOSE THE REMOTE! lol.
(A side note that is irritating to most modern DVD players is to start a movie in the same place as you watched it, even if you watched 3 movies between. It's extremely irritating, especially if, as I've said, you've lost the remote. I'm not rating this product on that quality, because I believe it's endemic to most DVD players, not just this one.) The only other thing I would add is that not having it automatically turn off is a mistake you will only make once (which I did, and our car battery died).
All in all, great quality and we've enjoyed using it on road-trips, despite the hassles of installation, and losing the remote. I hope this review has been helpful to you, I tried to include what I would have wanted to know before we bought this unit.

This dvd/tv is great but has an issue. When your playing a dvd it makes noise like the disc in the dvd player is rubbing on something. if you press on the cover the noise stops. I had it for 1 day and had to put tape across the dvd player lid so it does not make noise. Also when you leave your car out in the heat the dvd player will not play anythin. If the Dvd is not acting up it works just fine.
