I am personally no help but there are some guys here that have installed some great systems that look and function just awesome. I have seen a few "junk" installations locally. But here, you will find some great input.

Yes I have, I have a flip out Alpine, also replaced the rear view mirror with a 6.5" widescreen and have a rearview camera. I am in the process now of adding a few more screens.

I've installed a Panasonic DVD/TV/Monitor with a rearview camera. Got a nav system that interfaces with it, haven't installed it yet though. Moved the HU down and the AC controls up so the center vent would not be blocked. XM Commander in the ashtray area too.

Shylor, I really like your setup. What type is it and was it difficult to install? Where can I find it and how much?

I hate to be the party pooper here but I just don't get it. You can't watch a movie while driving. And if your stopped you can go indoors and watch it on a big screen. I get the nav system but DVD's it just seems like a waste of money. I think most buy them just to say they have one. You wouldn't find me sitting in the car to watch a 2 to 3 hour movie. My .02 Flame away, maybe I'll learn something that I have missed.
