Default Question reading headrest screens....

i have a 2000 gs 300 and planning to get the headrest for the back, was wondering if i need a dvd player for this to work? would my avic d1 be able to play dvd's also while driving or would it work only for the headrest?

heres what i got for my system setup:
-pioneer avic d1
- jl 500/1 and 300/4
-6.5 jl xr and a 12w7

avicd1 does not play dvd's at all, but you can hook a dvd into it and have it output it to your screens if you wanted to.

Yea, I just searched for Avic D-1..the site said it doesn't play DVDs, but if you get one of those small car DVD players you can put it in your glove box...or center console, or wherever you want it.

My setup is 2 9" LCD sunvisor screens..and a dvd player in the glove box.

My buddy has the 2 sunvisors AND 2 headrests w/ a dvd player in the glove box...

You can buy the car dvd players for like 40-50$ on ebay, and they work like a champ..I hit some major bumps in my path to work and it's never skipped.

Something like this....you can find cheaper ones or more expensive ones...they're all pretty much the same, some may have more outputs/inputs...

Other options include the headrests with monitors and DVD players built in. This way, each back seater can watch whatever they want.

if the music videos are encoded in the DVD format, there won't be a problem. As for any other formats, each DVD player is specific on what it will and won't play. You have to look that information up yourself on the manufacturers website.
