First I want to note that the image provided by Amazon is for an older model; take a look at my pictures or look at the Roadview website (this may get corrected).I am very pleased with this product. I have owned it for a month or so and just got back from a 3800 mile road trip where it was in use constantly. I installed it in a 2008 Hyundai Entourage.Pros: It came with every cable needed (including an adapter for the mini front input). The built in FM modulator worked well. The built in speakers were adequate for the seat directly facing the screen (the volume had to be turned up a few notches from full when at 70 miles a hour - I suppose this is very vehicle dependent). The post fit in standard holes perfectly and you could still adjust the height (it came with several adapters to adjust the fit if needed). The screen is pretty good quality and is still easy to watch even in the middle of the day. I loved the zipper cover, which when closed makes the headrest look stock to the casual observer (or thief) and protects the screen. The remote works well and the controls are easy to use. The headrest blends in well, is made from quality material, and the angle is adjustable (to help people of different heights see the screen better).Cons: The biggest fault I had with this unit is the documentation is very vague (for instance: even though the FM modulator setup is straightforward, it is not even listed in the instructions). For the most part I was able to spend a few minutes playing with everything on it and I just tossed the instructions anyway. The other thing I noted above is the built in speakers are a little weak. There was also one instance where we had to open and close the DVD door latch to get the "door open" warning to clear from the screen so the DVD would play - this only happen once over a three week period, but I thought I should note it.Conclusion: I am really happy with this product and I would recommend it. I compared it to several others before buying and I am pleased with the price given the screen size and features.Other Notes: This unit has a companion screen which it can share its video output with through an included cable (if you want to save money by only having one DVD player): Roadview RHF-9.0G 9-Inch Headrest Monitor (Gray). It can also accept a video input from an additional source (in addition to the front input), which is great if you want to plug in a game system. I am only noting these features, because I found them while researching this unit, but have not actually used them.Install Tip: I only wanted a semi permanent install so I removed the seat back ran the power wire below (the power and video wires are in the post) and spliced it into an old 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter which I plugged into the van's power point (so if needed I could easily swap it to another car, just by unplugging it).

Purchased this for my 4 year old. Works great and we REALLY love the wireless headphone option. Installation was fairly straight forward if you have some mechanical and electrical knowledge.

I bought this item on Amazon 6 months ago to replace a clip on DVD player for my son. My wife got a 2012 CR-V and I figured it was a good time to do a more "permanent" install. First and foremost let me start with the positives. It is damn near a perfect match for the Honda grey leather interior, if you REALLY scrutinized it you could tell it was so slightly different (no one else will notice). The zip up flap is awesome, it seems cheesy but it works. This thing blends right in when zipped up, excellent peace of mind. The screen, although far from great, works well for kids as long as it works. Install was pretty straight forward. This thing is massive, you should know that going in as it is a 9" screen. Although it is significantly larger than the stock headrest, it really doesn't stand out and probably very few, if any, people would notice. Now a couple negatives. It is not very comfortable as a headrest, it's pretty hard. I don't really use it that way so it wasn't a concern, but worth noting. Now the big negative. 6 months in and the screen is starting to wash out very badly. It is roughly divided in 1/4s with alternating 1/4s being washed out in white. The image is still there but very difficult to see. I am going to attempt to contact the manufacturer and see what kind of warranty/customer service they provide. Honestly, if they are willing to take care of me as a customer I will come back and change the rating to a 5 star. If they aren't then I will leave this for people considering this product. I will post an update once I see what happens. I have worked on electronics for 12 years, I know things happen sometimes and am willing to put up with the inconvenience if things are made right. The product overall is great for the price, assuming it lasts longer than 6 months.
