Anyone been exploring of a self made/wired/hooked up/connected system lately?????
I dont mind putting in a nice Kenwood, Clarion, Sony, etc brand name system that cost $1500+/- . My only concern is that those DVD players dont play DivX or XviD *.avi extension video. If you know what video format i am talking about , you will understand the need for a DVD player w/DivX capability.
Anyway, I've been looking on eBay, and thinking of doing something of this type and just wanted to get some other ideas/opinions. Feel free and open to discuss, just stay close the the subject.
here are some links:

Once again, LCDs are a matter of choice, you can do a flip down, or headrest or whichever is more comfy for you to use/install.
I was thinking center of the roof between the front seets for a flip-down would be perfect. Using one of the portable DVD players with all the necessary options is perfect, plus wiring couldnt be that hard.
There are LCD monitors with FM modulators build in them, meaning that you can use your installed stereo car speakers for sound, or do IR headsets for privacy. Anyways,,,
WHATCHA THINK? Project worth a try???
I am not sure when I could start on it, but could gladly take pics of the install process as well as time frame done, and price!!! if anyone interested!
