Okay as mentioned in an earlier post I will give you my first impressions of the audiovox units installed on Friday. The installers located in Warren MI were real professionals really knew there business, besides the fact that I was paying $1,395 for the whole job. Had a great chat with my 3 yr. old watching the geese at a nearby pond, while anxiously awaiting his new toy. We did not have time to get the operation instructions at the shop but had a great ride home to Canada watching the RV movie (my son that is). I read the instructions when getting home and found them totally logical and easy. On Saturday I took a trip to Sarnia and had two different movies playing so both boys could enjoy their programs. I did not hear a peep the whole ride up. When I got to my buddies place he checked out the new toys and absolutely loved them. Totally awesome wants some for his 3 kids. I am extremely happy with my purchase, although I must say after reading some posts there was a moment where I was a bit aprehensive about the audiovox units. Not anymore, I really think they are fantastic from the fit & finish of the actual headrest to the versatile funtionality of the units themselves. In conclusion here are the things I find very beneficial for the value: listen via wireless headphones or fm stereo tie in operate via touch screen or remote controls 2 game paddles for built in games play individual or one another USB PORT, AUX PORT, SD CARD SLOT headphone jack (wired) better than original headrest: bigger, perfect colour & material match, tilt back and forth seemlessly, feel more ergonomic than originals DVD screens tilt 19 degrees total hook up xbox or ps2 night mode and day mode like gps systems easy operation 3 year warranty north america anywhere ie. travel to Florida call service and replace in Florida within 48 hours I know this is a bit excessive but when I was in the market I did as much research as possible and I know this would have helped me. Knowledge is power... especially since its a fairly large cost that you have to feel good about.

Good point... I agree. We shall see how that works out. Perhaps I will have to reinforce the remote control rule only

FYI... heres the product. Touch_Screen_Sell_Sheet__Audiovox_.pdf

. I am glad it worked out for you, hopefully I will be equally as satisfied. Add-ons are typically not discounted for X planners however, I know A plan does offer an incremental discount (very small) since I am one. Was the cost of the Sirius for a lifetime membership? Your ride sounds very nice... thank you for the information.

To be honest with you I did not like the factory brand look. Plus there are 3 different versions they sell at the dealer those with the most similar functionality (play 1 on both/play 2 consecutively) were around $1995.00 before taxes (.13%). I chose the Audiovox primarily because of the 3 year manufactures warranty. Additional reasons were as follows: touch screen, USB port, IPOD compatibility, SD card slot and built in Video games also with the compatibility to hook up PS2 and Xbox. However with that being said my other choices were Myron & Davis and Vizualogic. I did not choose M&D because I was not big on the opening at the top (big flap). I would have chosen Vizualogic based on looks alone since I thought they do a great job on matching the OEM and I like the sleek design of the DVD very minimal mostly screen with a small border. However these would be shipped within 5 business days. My Audiovox arrive tomorrow which is another great deal (1 day shipping), and will be installed on Friday at 4:00pm. So hopefully all goes well the installers do work for Village ford and other Ford dealerships in Michigan and seem very professional. This system will cost me in total $1400.00 all taxes and installation in. I will let you know how the so called cheopo brands work out. It was reassuring to hear the other fellow on this forum had very good luck with the Audiovox brand. At the end of the day its only money and nothing lasts forever

thanks for the info I am almost sorry I did not check this post sooner. I made a quick decision to purchase the Audiovox touch-screens this evening they are costing my about $1400 with install. I sure hope I don't regret the decision. I will let you know. Thanks in advance.

I had a look on Costco.com but was not able to find any headrest DVD's available through them. As for the cheapy DVD's one can purchase from Walmart or Target.... I have been there and done that. After going through 2 units priced at about $110 a piece I am now looking for a more permanent solution. Not to mention the hanging cables and noisey creaking and bouncing begins to grate on ones nerves. So now I have been researching a good quality built-in that would match my charcoal with white stitch interior. As far as I can tell the Invision, Myron & Davis and Audiovox seem to be well thought by the installers. If anyone has any additional information that may help I would appreciate it. Thanks.
