Does the manual have good directions to install this dvd player in a vehicle? How difficult is it to install it with the dome light wiring?

Not gonna lie, the directions aren't the best. But I was able to install in less than an hour leeching off of the original dome light wires like you. There are two sets of wires, one for the lights on the set, and the rest for the dvd player. But I would definitely recommend...

They're ok. I don't know if Amazon will let me link you directly to the manual, but if you google for 'P10.1ES_EN_UM.PDF' you can find it pretty easily. The wiring diagram is on page 19.Here's the link to the manual: http://images.planetaudiousa.com/manuals/P10.1ES_EN_UM.PDF

I took it to a stereo shop By my house and they only charged me $60 to install it. I'm not too good with electronics especially in a a car LOL

Directions are pretty good as far as the wiring goes but lacking in the mounting instructions (simple enough though). As far as the dome light wiring, it will depend on the make and model of your vehicle. If it is a standard dome light, then you will only have a switched 12 volt power feed. You will need to get a constant 12 volt wire to the unit too. It's not to hard to do, just takes some time to get it from under the dash, behind the windshield pillar and above the roof liner. But once done, this unit is well worth the price.

Most vehicles are built with a disabling function so you can not view videos or even google map type apps from the screen due to safety issues. You may find an installer willing to put in an over-ride switch, as I did, but getting to the video/map takes so much time and steps I found it's just not worth it. Also, my vehicle required wires to hang out of dash which I now find annoying. It plays music and even will store photos, which is cool. All in all, I am still very happy with the quality of the player and hands free calling is very easy. Hope this was helpful :)

Hi Wallace,Sorry for the delay in response to your question. The package says that its for cd players and cd console game systems so I would give a whirl in your car. The instructions begin automatically as soon as you insert the disc. It worked really well on my dvd player.

Hello! I had to install the lights and the directional level. Went to the Nissan shop and it took like 90 minutes. They Told me that the original level does not have the system to turn on the fog lights.

Has 2 HDMI In; 1 HDMI out. My only complaint about this unit is that it has hard-wired speakers (to a plastic connector). My old Pioneer DVD had the spring-connector type where you just stick the bare wires in. So to use my old speakers that are permanently mounted in the room, I had to manually splice all of the wires to the hard-wired connectors. Took an hour, but it works. The player has worked fine. Look at previous user comments for getting the surround sound to work...it is not obvious in the manual.

I did not get any instructions either. However that being said... It's not hard to install. Red to power side of battery and black to ground. I installed mine inside my saddle bag and ran remote up to handle bar for quick change of Chanel

if you're not going to use in the car will need to use a voltage adapter, if you connect it to the car directly to the dc feed truck, bring bring the wires, one red one black is the positive which is negative and one that can be yellow or blue the remote that comes from the dvd player does so automatically turn the screen.

Good question. I'm stoned and stumped. I have installed stereos in cars before, including one DVD player, but my Mazda was expensive and I wanted it done right. So I had Best Buy install it. If you use advice and parts from your local audio/video retailer and also use YouTube or written guides from the web, you should be able to figure it out. its not very hard but it would be hard to match what the pro's did at Best Buy. I hope this helped as I am stoned right now.

Hi there, what I did is enter the item name and model number on Youtube and searched for "how to install" There' s plenty of links. Here's the one I used - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AZlvEBEjAA It's fairly easy but make sure to follow the instructions to the T or the controller could get fried. Hope this helped! Best of Luck-

not sure what your question is don, but I have the owners manual installation is fairly simple. you can send me your # and ill contact you and maybe walk you through the installation. the main thing is that it be put in facing the right direction

yes it will work for your vehicle so long as it has the Navigation DVD disc drive.....If it does have it, then it takes about 10-15 minutes to upload once the new DVD is inserted..hope this helps!

It works just fine and the DVD player opens either from the main box or from the remote. Our biggest issue is WHICH remote and Which connector on our TV. I would have bought this one first if I had realized what a good DVD player it would be.

I don't remember if there were instructions with the package or not. I've done a lot of vehicle installs (and am MECP certified) and this was reallt easy, with a little bit of mechanical and wiring background. Taking the covering off of the seat will be the hardest, which there won't be any instructions, since it's vehicle dependant. On my wife's '05 Escape, the covers came over and on really simple. Other cars use hog pins which are more difficult. The only suggestion I have is to use spray glue in addition to the self adhesive. The sheets can be cut without any problems, so if something doesn't fit, cut it. As far as wiring, mount the switch, plug the connectors in to the only place they plug and then the red goes to 12v+ and black goes to ground. Hate to say it, but if that doesn't make sense or still struggling, you may want to look into having it professionally installed. There are more advance wiring options, like wiring the 12v to only be turned on with the vehicle, timed delay turning off, temperature dependant, connected to remote start, etc. All of these options vary on every make and model of vehicle and the manufacturers won't provided detailed installation instruction beyond red=positive black=negative. You'll have to test to find where these wires are in your specific car.

Each headrest has its own cords. They both have RCA jacks that you then plug into each other. And it should say in instructions. You can plug them either way to make the left or the right the one that controls the other. Put the dvd in one and hit the button on bottom left of controller. Think it is like AV/DVD or skmething to switch modes on the slave unit. Sorry I don't have the remote in front of me. Mine came with good directions though on how to set it up

The iClever headrest DVD players have fixed screens. However, the viewing angles are fine unless you tend to send lay back in the front driver seats. The biggest problems with the player is that it didn't come as shown on Amazon. I basically had to watch a youtube video on 'Installing DVD Headrest players'. The cords for the players have to run through the actual seat and come out from under your seat to interconnect your players. This is actually a good option, since you will want to play DVDs in sync. It took about 5 hours to run all of the cables together. Overall, I am very satisfied with the players. It just takes a lot of work to get the system setup. I recommend that you get professional installer to set this up.

Perhaps, I don't know how mechanically inclined you are...but I need help when it comes to electrical stuff. I would recommend getting someone to install it though. I had mine custom installed in my 06 Dodge 3500, and needed to buy a special plug for the hookup wires, the one that's included is for some type of car. My dash cover also had to be custom cut to fit the size of the unit, and also, a point to keep in mind is if some of the wires are not hooked up correctly the DVD player will only play sound and not have a picture. Hope that helps! Good luck.

The DVD player works fine with me. When you install you need to make sure to take one screw out (that is for shipping purpose).
