Personally, I think you'd be better picking up a second iPad for him.

I have rear screens & my kids never used them - now they have iPads, the iuse them all the time.

Buy them iPad's.
i have had TV screens in the last three cars and the Kids have watched them all of twice.

My 2 yr old always watches it keeps him quiet, he too small to work an iPad and I don't have any films on the iPad either so it works out better for me. I installed them myself.

The wires are narrow enough to feed thru metal tube and down the back of the seat under the floor to the rear centre arm rest where my DVD player is, which is handy cause I don't have to keep going to the boot to change discs.

I got 6" veba screens. Slim and have a bracket that screws into the headrest.

You can get a couple of brand new Google nexus 7's for the price of an iPad. I have had rear screens in the car since I got it, never been used in anger. .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember

Lolo what kind of DVD player did you get.? I have a 2 year old also and very interested in this option. DVD player must be tiny if it fits into armrest ?  Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

I have screens in the rear headrests of my car that the previous owner had paid to be installed - we also have a dvd player in the boot but this has not been used for the best part of a year. I removed the dvd input on the screen control box and replaced it with 2 iPod/iPad AV cables. The sound is routed via dual channel RF headphones as these seem more reliable than the IR headphones - the 'wings' on the kids seats meant that they had to keep their heads leaning forwards with IR headphones on to maintain 'line of sight' for the headphones to work. This is used on almost any journey of over 10 minutes as it keeps the kids amused (and quiet) and each child can choose what they watch/listen to. The sound comes through the headphones when they listen to music or if they decide to stop watching cartoons and play a game for a bit.
The beauty of the iPod AV cable is that you can control the system from the front of the car more easily (no changing disks etc) or as the kids get older they can control it themselves.

I have 2 9' nextbase "click and go" stanchion mounted players in my car they were from halfords and tge screen folds down to load them. You can also easily unclip them and put them in a different car. The seem to have an updated model but i think the principle is the same.

I had them in my 5 series before, would not go on a long journey without them, i pads are possibly a good way forward but do require all the films ypu may possibly want to watch to be loaded onto them and the computer they sync to first, which can be a bit laborious

We just have a big dvd wallet and the kids can operate them and chose what they want easily from the folder.

They werent mega money, there are a few cables around when they are installed but it can be all tucked away in the storage bag just leaving the mounts on the headrest poles in a minute. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks for the replies

My little boy is nearly 2 and can work the iPad
Fairly well but supervised, all his films are on there
So I will be fitting a aux output lead in the car so I can
Connect my iPad and play the films while on the move
And keep his sticky fingers off it.


I just need a good ice fitting company
