Flip Down DVD?
Hi all, have my XC90 on order now but passed by the RSE option as will have regular occupiers of the 3rd row seats who would be miffed at their siblings having a TV but not them. This would kind of negate the whole point of having the RSE (quiet little uns) as I foresee arguments betwen my lot.
So....I'm thinking better for me is a 12" (or so) roof mounted DVD player which flips down and can be seen by all. Disadvantage I guess is zero rear vision when in use but that doesn't bother me much. Does anyone have one if these fitted and if so does it work well for you?? I see Clarion do a 15" version for circa £600... Elliot2 could be the man to fit it... |

Its a 2 hour job to do yourself Id go for a rosen unit they are about £280 on ebay you can run up to six head phones as well . I have fitted the 9 inch one and its always been perfect. and the third row have never complained. this is a pic of the one in my 2004 xc necvox are now called rosen quality is superb and you can play the system through your stereo as well

Peter (Elliot2) can fit screens to the middle row as well as the front headrests and you can set it up so as to be able to watch different things on themas well it's well worth an email to him.

Did you find the fixing easy - do you have to cut the headlining? |

I asked myself the same question and went for peter elliot for two reasons: rear visibility but also safety. Saw on a specialist web site than flip down screen are lethal (glass) if severe crash. Not sure I it is true though. It is suprising they are legal if true
peter will cost you more but the quality of his work is very impressive. From Reading this forum, it is clear that his instalation works better than factory fitted one RP |
