Wow, once someone said they got the monitor on ubid, most of us went there and got one for our ody ! =). Now that we have the monitor, we need the sources. Anyone has any suggestion for some source ? Anyone heard of any VHS + DVD combo ? how about some good DVD/VCD player ? I heard a few people plan to put in a PS2 for game play and DVD. How about a dreamcast ? It can play VCD too right and the graphics are better then PS? Let's suggest some ideas !

I'm still keeping an eye out for a discman sized DVD/MP3 player combo. If anyone ever anyone already knows about one, let us know. In the mean time I'll keep searching for one. Thanks.

After living with a portable DVD player in the car we (meaning me 1st then the wife) decided to go for a in-dash DVD stereo unit. The advantages are:

1. Starts/stops playing with the car
2. No batteries to recharge (or lighter adapter needed)
3. Easier to load DVD discs
4. Not necessary to hide when left on seat
5. Controls out of kids reach
6. Plays DVD's and DVD-Audio disc's (Panasonic CQ-DVR909U only)

Disadvantages

1. Expensive car Stereo!

Panasonic has two models of in-dash DVD players without screens. Eclipse also has a in-dash DVD stereo without screen.
OR for a different design that would also give you Dolby-Digital/DTS Clarion's in-dash or under dash DVS9755z.

Perhaps a under seat model, like Blaupunkt's player http://www.gspr.com/DVDME1.html OR Lanzar SVDVD1 http://1cache.site.yahoo.net/1cache/lansvmobdvdp.html. Also there is another model that plays DVD's and MP3's by Accele http://www.accele.com/AcceleVision/page4a.htm

Enjoy the show!

Crutchfield sells the new Blaupunkt DVD for $349, http://www.carmedia1.com sells the in-dash DVD player DV1500 for $449 shipped, but it won't work if you have Navigation unless you mount it elsewhere.

For VCR, you can just buy a cheap unit from local store and use the inverter.
