Tmi just dropped the prices on direct sales for the wireless Back Seat Theater system. For $699 you get the screen, two headphones AND the VCP. That includes tax and shipping.

They also have a portable 12V DVD player for $199 or you can buy the kit w/DVD instead of the VCP for $799.

nyvram - any feedback on how the system is working for you.

TMI's site is www.backseattheater.com

Seeing as how I'm *probably* the ranking BST expert since Seahorse hasn't been around lately, I'll field these:

DVD player is tempting, but seeing as how I just talked my wife into the PS2, there's no way I'm getting rid of it now!

Here are some specs on the DVD player:

eSonic PD-200 portable DVD player (also plays VCDs, CDs, etc.) RCA out, 12V w/ auto-power cord & remote.

http://www.backseattheater.com/dvd/dvd.html

This is the best price I've seen for a portable DVD player for the car, but I'm somewhat concerned that I don't see where it takes batteries. The only other websites are in Chinese or in the UK so I can't find out any other specs regarding whether it runs off batteries or not.

Extra installation kit: $40 (includes transmitter, mounts, etc.)

Battery-powered base (to take the LCD out of car & set it on a picnic table, for instance): not yet available

Yes, the $699 price is better than the $595 at Autotoys you'd pay for the unit w/o the VCP if that's the route you're going. It would run you $750 for the total package since the VCP is $149 separately.

On another note, the backseattheater website now has much better installation docs!! There are 3 pdfs that do an even better job than I did of explaining how to install it, troubleshooting, etc.

It also appears the product is different than mine; instead of the 't' adapters, there' actually a rail now that goes between the holes you cut in the headliner. So I guess they've also improved the product for 2001; I obviously got an older product from Autotoys.

Go check it out; this is an even better deal now than it was before.

I just checked the site and the price is $899.95--is there another area to check that reflects the lower price?

Thanks!

Brent, if you click on the “To CHECK PRICES or for Secure On-Line Ordering CLICK HERE”
on the home page, you get the $699 price. If you click for price on some other page, I notice you get the old price.

nyvram, how is the quality of the picture using the wireless transmission. Is it as sharp and clear as wired units?

Man, all that improvement, and still no widescreen
