car mounting? Anyone find a good product to attach this dvd player to a car headrest?

I found the PERFECT car mounting system for this. I looked EVERYWHERE online, and finally stumbled across a canadian company called PeriPower that makes various mounting solutions. I was able to buy the PeriPower X-Shape Headrest mount new off of ebay (for around $30), and it works perfectly. Ebay was the only place I could find where it was sold - it does ship from Canada, but shipping was pretty fast. It really is a well-made product, and install is a snap!http://www.peripower.com/product_EN.aspx?cid=2&nowp;=10

Ouch. I had the same question and after 30 minutes searching all I got is to this QUESTION... Any tips greatly appreciated.

I debated between the Y and the X - just liked the fact that the X had 4 points of contact instead of 3.And yes, super easy to remove the player from the mount (the back part of the mount slides up and down, and has a lock to keep it in place. Just unlock and slide up to remove player), and super easy to remove the mount from the headrest poles (they just lock on with a little lever on each side).

Not yet. I was just about to buy it from ebags but then had a great "outside the box" idea... I have actually found that you can use a vertical hanging toiletry bag!!! As long as it is supportive material and has a u-shaped front opening it should work. I just found one that I already had in my closet: it is the "Embark" cheapo brand from Target. It looks something like this: http://tinyurl.com/l4aeeqI was stunned at how small a bag it can actually fit into; mine is tall like this one, but it works just fine! I have to rig up a seat/headrest hanging strap but it fits great so far! Not yet. I was just about to buy it from ebags but then had a great "outside the box" idea...

I ordered the Case Logic case and it works great. Needed to add some foam to increase the height of where the dvd player sits in the case, but the width is perfect and the straps in the case make it very solid.

I just found this Peripower mount on ebay. Thank you for that advice. Was there a reason you chose the X over the Y shape? And is it fairly easy to remove the dvd player from the mount? Is it quick to remove from the mount from the headrest? I ask b/c we'll have to remove whenever we aren't in car b/c of crime in our city. Thanks

I have been searching too. I found this case which I think may work with some extra velcro added.http://tinyurl.com/556jmf

I used carabiner clips to attach the straps to the child safety anchors on each side above the seat backs. It worked perfectly in a car with no headrests :-)

I put mine in and plan to just leave it there. I use Bluetooth for my music so I don't need the CD slot. I don't think it would be a good idea to constantly insert and remove this for fear of damaging either the player or the mount. If you listen to CDs frequently, I would look for another phone solution. If you are looking at just occasionally, this may work fine as long as you are careful.

I'm looking for some type of kit that when I have the screen swiveled and flat I can mount it to the headrest in my van, I suppose just a piece of velcro strap would work, but would like something that is made for it specifically , but not in the L shape case like you are saying too! thanks cbanks27@yahoo.com

I am sure that it will fit any ptactical any vehicle that has a two pole removable head rest system. My experience with is product is that the video playback works fine and once there is a RCA video out port on the vehicle Audio/Video player you will be able to display video. My experience with the IR audio output from these headrest monitors is that it is very poor. It would have been very helpful if these headrest monitors could have a 2.5mm headphone port to allow the use of wired headphones. This would only cost a few cents to manufacture and would make up for the short comings in the IR Audio I am sure that it will fit any ptactical any vehicle that has a two pole removable head rest system.

Interesting question: I am going to try mounting it in my new car and see what happens. I can velcro tape it to the dash. Never thought of it but this may be another application for the same equipment.

Get the 'bean bag' dash mount that Amazon sells - worth every penny! http://tinyurl.com/nzzcrvx

try searching on NAVMAT... works well. Also, Bracketron has a cupholder mount that is very nice. Available at BestBuy

You can watch a movie on one of the dvd headrests, and play video games on the other dvd headrests. Sure. Hope this helps

You need to buy the parking break override adapter then you can watch DVD s while driving. PS it may not be legal in your state. Check local laws first.

If you mean the video from say a DVD playing on the display of your headunit, then it's not this harness that you need to alter to make it work. It's on your headunit to OEM interface that you need to look into. Also note that it is in fact illegal to do so in most states.

The only options they have is a file download or comes on a mini SD card, not sure if you can put it on a DVD for use in car.

It will allow your in-dash DVD player to "play" video while the vehicle is moving.. FYI - all car DVD players will not play video WITHOUT the parking/hand brake engaged.. Part of the wiring for installation of DVD players includes parking/handbrake grounding.. This product By-passes this control by installing in this signal path.. Just buy it brother -- if you are installing an in dash DVD player --- save some frustration and buy this..;-)

I don't know, we did not mount that TV. You may have to contact the manufacturer to see if even possible with DVD player on back of TV. Note, if you have not yet purchased the TV please think over carefully as we have to send in for repairs to DVD after 3 days and did not get back for 3 months. Works now but it was an inconvenience as we had purchase for business promotion of our web design. Now it acts as an extra monitor in husband's office.

I would not recommend it. Look at a seat holder that goes over the headrest or something similar.

You can use an SD card. It has an input for a 1/8" stereo audio cable. There is no other audio or video in. If you had a DVD player, the audio can be routed to the unit so it can be heard through the car stereo. I have one of these units, and can't get it to play clearly in any of our 3 cars. I have a cheaper unit, that doesn't have as good a display that sounds great and comes through clearly.

No, it is pretty straight forward and easy to put the DVD player in and out. I own 2 of these mounts in different vehicles and both have held up well in over a years worth of use.
