Adding an overhead car DVD player to your vehicle can not only add entertainment to passengers in your car but it can also increase the resell value of it as well. Drivers especially with children will love the sudden quiet and calm of a ride in their vehicle that has an overhead DVD player. It is ideal for long trips across the country or just short trips a few towns over.
There are a variety of overhead car dvd players available for consumers to choose from. There are name brands such as Sony, Toshiba, Coby and Boss. These DVD players have features such as already built in dome lights, AV inputs and transmitters for wireless headphones which is a great feature for parents who are already tired of hearing cartoons all day. For those without headphones you can opt for the FM transmitter feature.
Overhead players have screens in a range of sizes from 9 inches to over 11 inches. Most of the DVD players have a nice clear screen that plays movies or CDs if you prefer to play your favorite music instead. Some even feature an IPOD docking station. Check the available options as many times the players come with a small remote in which to control the device.
Prices for overhead car DVD players vary depending upon what brand you purchase, where you purchase it from and what features they come with. For a more high tech premium choice you can spend over $500. You can purchase these types of players from most electronic stores and some car accessory specialty stores.
Install a Rear View Camera
The answer to this issue is the rear view camera. These cameras are easy to use but it is important that you choose the correct one to buy. Make sure that when you are looking to buy one you get a rear view camera that automatically turns on when you go into reverse. It should also look like a mirror. This choice makes it easier to use the camera.
When you buy a rear view camera you will get a LCD wireless monitor that you put on the dashboard.
There will also be a small holder for the wireless monitor and double sided sticky tape to install it easily. If you don't like this method, you can also screw it into your dashboard. This is a more stable way to install it and it is also very permanent. Don't choose this method until you are sure you want to keep the camera.
You can then plug it into the cigarette lighter using a 12 volt adapter. You can also tap into the vehicle's fuse box if you are clever enough to know how to do that. Just look on the internet for good instructions. You can also pay someone to install it for you.
The camera itself sits on the top or the bottom of the license plate, depending on your vehicle. The power needs to be hard wired, similar to hooking up a trailer's lights. It can either work all of the time or only when you are driving in reverse- the choice is yours. You will be grateful that you got a rear view camera the first time you use it. It really is an amazing invention.
