There are many different configurations to pick out from when selecting a backseat DVD system.

One of the most standard options is a DVD, monitor, and sound configuration. This is where all components are separate. You may be able to even add wireless headphones also. These systems can be very painless to set up and can also be configurable to an impressive set up.

You may also need to check out some headrest monitors. These monitors may fit inside the headrest itself or mounted along the headrest. These can deviate in sizes by 5 inches up to 7 inches. Some vehicle manufacturers may have headrests that have been factory-made already.

With using the headrests, you will still have to associate it to a DVD player or VCR. Just make sure that these component parts are compatible with each other. In most cases, these parts will be compatible. You can likewise use a receiver controller (if installed) that will commit the sound and video signal to these backseat monitors.

How about an overhead monitor? I have got one of these in our Honda Odyssey. These monitors are mounted to the inside roof of the vehicle and folds down. When the monitor is affixed on the roof of the vehicle, it makes it often homier for all second seat passengers to be able to see the DVD or picture.

There is also the all-in-one unit that straps on the rear of the front seat or seats. Due to being self contained, these units can be powered by the vehicles cigarette lighter. More than likely, these units will sustain audio and video outputs, as well as, an option to plug in some headphones.

With most of these units, you may be able to apply your vehicles sound system. What you should look for is if your head or controller unit in your dash has an audio input signal. These connections will likely be the RCA type connections (Red and White). There may as well be an option where this unit may transmit sound via a FM Modulator. This means that the unit communicates a low power FM signal of the audio or sound. If this is the case, you can tune your in-dash receiver or controller to a unique FM channel (deemed by the maker, check over your manual) to hear the audio or sound.

There are a few different alternatives you may go with when picking out a setup for your rear seat passengers. You may be able to select a self-contained unit, headrest monitors, and an overhead bend down monitor.
