DVD player/LCD screens?

I'm looking for some ideas along the lines of where you guys have installed the screens (headrests, roof?) and players and what kind you went with? I haven't seen many trucks with DVD players so post up. Anything else let me know. Pics would be great. Thank you.

I just had an 06 H3 Hummer, 15K miles with them installed in the head rests. They were only 6 months old and both were broken. I would get portables or a laptop, and stay away from the temptation to "keep up with the Jones". In 6 months you'll have outdated DVD players that won't work and are out of warranty.

Just my $.02 worth.

The Alpine That Is In The Dash Comes With A Plug And Play Modium...i Just Put It Under The Drives Seat And The Sony Playstation Fits Good There To...the One On The Roof Is Right Behind The Sunroof And You Can Plug The Sony Right In To It To...just Go To Your Local Electronic Store And Ask For The Roof Mount Alpine Dvd And The Personial In Dash Dvd Player....make Sure When They Mount You Roof Dvd Play They Put A Support Plate In There....then Can Do That By Taking Out The Roof Light And Go From There...

Thanks for the help again guys. I decided to go with an Alpine PKG-RSE2 mounted from the roof. Simple and effective. Should be in the truck in the next few weeks. I'll post up some pics and my impression.

I had a Panasonic in-dash dvd player in my dash until some kind individual broke in & permanently borrowed it. Professional job. He had some type of scanner that could disable my alarm. I was in the front row of a country club when it happened!

You might not want to go back to the same shop to get a new one installed, may want a new alarm also. We had a shop up here where the guys used to program an extra remote when they installed alarms, a month or two later the gear would get stolen.
