Roadview RHM-9.0T 9-Inch Headrest with Built-In DVD Player (Tan) Review

Our dealership had this installed in our 2009 Kia Sedona as our entertainment package. They work great and look pretty good. They are a little darker, but not really noticable. They work well and make long travel much more pleasant. The kids can watch their movies and I can listen to music. We had 2 installed so each child can watch their own movies, but their wireless headphones work on each dvd player so if they want to watch the same movie they can both hear. The build in cover looks great when it is zipped up hiding and protecting the dvd player. This is a great product!

Pair of TAN Headrest 7" LCD Car Monitors with Region Free DVD player USB SD Inc. Wireless Headhones and 32 Bit Games Review

The DVD players are sturdy and offer dozens of functions not found on OEM systems. The guts of the DVD players are clearly marked Sony. The tan head rests are well constructed and they match the leather in our Navigator. They play DVD-Rs and Video CDs with no issues. Movies can also be watched from a thumb drive or an SD card in several different digital formats. Some MP4s will play, others won't. The head phones have two channels and work perfectly with either DVD player. Video quality is surprisingly good, especially after changing the default setting of PAL to NTSC. Basic functions are on the front of the DVD player, but advanced functions require you use the remote control. The 32 BIT games are for children over 10. The 8 BIT games (optional) are old 1970-1980s arcade favorites and the younger kids love them.
Installation was easy taking about 90 minutes to do a professional level job. The pre-installed Power and Video/Audio-Out line runs down one post of the head rest while the Video/Audio-In line runs down the other post. The cables dropped through the back of the seat and were easily routed down the side of the seat and beneath the center console (comepletely out of sight). I removed the back panel of the center console where I connected the Video/Audio cables and tapped off of a cigarette lighter power cable for the 12VDC. The cables are very long giving you all kinds of cable routing options. End result was an OEM style DVD system that costs $1000 less.

PYLE PLD72BK Adjustable Headrests w/ Built-In 7'' TFT/LCD Monitor w/ Built in DVD Player & IR/FM Transmitter With Cover (Black) Review

Highs: 1yr warranty. Better quality than non-branded units on ebay. Ability to connect 2 headrests together to play and watch from either or both headrests. Infra-Red headphone capable but not included.
Lows: Games/game controller are low quality. No headphones.
I purchased this Pyle DVD headrest to replace a similar looking non-branded DVD headrest that I purchased on ebay that only lasted 30days before the display went out. I will never get burned by ebay and questionable sellers with no warrany and a 7-day return policy again. Note: I wasn't able to leave feedback to warn others on ebay because it was past 30days. Ebay simply said Oh-well, that's our policy.
This Pyle DVD headrest has a 1 year warranty and it has the video/audio in/out cables to connect 2 of these DVD headrest in the car. The kids love the option of watching their own movie or watching the same movie. Our kids are 6 and 8, so my wife or I usually have to get the movies going because the remote might be confusing, at least until they get used to it.
The Pyle DVD headrest is better quality than the ebay unit I replaced. For example, the hinge is more robust and the flat, flexible ribbon cables have a strain relief and guide to prevent damage. All around it seems that Pyle's engineering specified a higher end product. The instruction manual is also better than the off-brand unit that I have.
The IR headphones that we had from the previous headrest work perfect with the Pyle DVD headrest and have both A and B channels. I wish Pyle included a set.
Don't buy it for the games.

On long trips, it\'s important to keep the backseat entertained and the driver comfortable. That\'s where this black adjustable headrest with built in 7" LCD monitor, DVD player, and SD card slot comes in. The picture on the screen is bright, crisp and accurate, thanks to the 1440x234 resolution, 300:1 contrast ratio, 25ms response time, and 16:9 display ratio. A full function remote control provides complete wireless access to your monitor\'s settings. The kids will enjoy themselves in the backseat and you\'ll be comfortable and safe in the front knowing a headrest will protect you. This model also includes a zip-up cover for the screen to prevent sun damage and to keep your car safe when you\'re not around. It\'s also compatible with IR wireless headphones, so you can enjoy peace of quiet while the backseat has a blast – or use the built in FM transmitter to enjoy the sound throughout your vehicle. Best of all, these headrests are easy to install, and fit in many car and SUV models.

New Pair BLACK Headrest with 7" DVD USB SD VIDEO Monitors Wireless Game Car Package Review

I purchased this through Amazon, but the sub-supplier handled complaints and return of the product. I am glad that I had Amazon backing up this purchase.
After reading several other reviews on this product, I was prepared for some of the issues. The biggest issue is the Chinese to English translation in the operations manual (not the installation). You need to sit down with a cup of coffee and read these directions first with the product in front of you. There is a Chinese website that is more useful than the instruction manual, or the supplier.If you have a 12 VDC power supply, it is worth it to sit down and figure out all the controls and make sure everything functions before you install these.
The adapter rods are of course too small in diameter for today's American Made vehicles. So I twice wrapped them top to bottom with black electrical tape. That seemed to make them snug enough to fit.
Hooking up the wiring was relatively easy. My problem came after I had installed them and after playing for 5 minutes, one of the LCD screens went totally blank. The supplier company required me to package everything back up and Fedex picked them up the next day. One week later, my returned package arrived at their business in New York. After a few phone calls, they then shipped a new set which arrived in three days. I tested the new headsets for an hour before installing them. I didn't want to have that problem again.
The game CD have nothing on them. they are blank. So I guess you have to go to their website, download the games compresed to your computer, open the games, then transfer them to the CD.
Make sure your headsets work. If you have 2 kids in the car and they are watching different DVDs, the sound is maddening. Remember the speakers are right behind your head times 2.
So far I am pleased with the equipment. I had three previous vehicles that came from the factory with entertainment systems and we liked them all. But with my latest car purchase, I didn't want to spend $1200 more for factory installed DVD systems, so I thought this was a good investment. If in the future these DVD players break, I can just re-install original headrest. At least for now the grandkids are occupied on long trips.
I rated this a '3' because the operating instructions are difficult to understand, and that I had to wait two more weeks for a good set to arrive. The supplier did handle the problem without question..they just wanted to confirm there was something wrong with them.

I installed this in a '07 Hyundai Accent. This is about as big as you can get for a small car like that and it seems to match well. Anything bigger would have been gaudy. The A/V cable plugs into a shorter integrated cable in the headrest. You will need to thread the A/V cable up the seat, plug it into the headrest, and then install the headrest. The easiest way to do this is to use coat hanger wire to push some dental floss down the seat ("Dental floss??"). Once the dental floss is down the seat and on the floor of the car, thread the floss through the end of the cable. Yes, you will see two small molding holes in the connector. Thread the floss through these holes, tie off the floss, and pull the cable up. My headrest holes had zero clearance for the A/V cable and dental floss is thin enough to get through the gap. Connect the A/V cable to the integrated cable in the headrest and then push the headrest down.
The manual is written in broken Chinese English. It's not hard to figure out how to use this display though.
Adjusting the headrest poles is not easy. The manual's description sounds awful but it absolutely works. You will need to grab the poles in each of your hands and work them forward and backward. The manual calls this "walking the poles". Do this while squeezing them inward or pulling them outward. It is extremely awkward to do. I got the spacing right but the poles ended up being slightly off center by 1/2". No biggie.
One neat thing about this display is that if you turn the car off momentarily with the monitor on then the monitor will turn back on when you turn the car back on. I suppose it recovers to its last known state? I haven't tested how long it retains this memory.
Remember, this is a 9" screen. It's not meant for hi-def. It's meant to entertain a back seat passenger (i.e. a kid). My four and a half year old enjoyed watching his movie on this display. My video source was an iPad with the compositive A/V cable set. The audio was fed into my car stereo's aux input.
If installation was a little less awkward then I would have given this a 5 star rating.
