I was a little apprehensive in purchasing this overhead DVD but I'm glad I did. My brother installed it in our Ford Expedition and it took him about an hour to install it. The sound is wonderful..we did not use the FM transmitter, instead we used the aux output of the radio and it provides a surround sound kind of feeling. This product is awesome and my kids love it!!!

First this product didn't come with any instructions? It also didn't come with long enough wiring to reach to my stereo. Then the bracket wouldn't mount because of the sunroof. We ended up returning the unit instead of drilling holes into my car or the mount.
The unit itself didn't seem too bad. It was not the highest quality, but you get what you pay for and for the price it seemed right.

I bought this for my 2 year old son and he loves it. When I travel all I do is pop in a dvd and go. It was fairly easy to install, although I didn't install it personally, I was there while it was installed. All thats needed is a little common sense and patience.

Installed this myself in the roof of my 2003 GMC pickup, installation instructions are nonexistent. You must hook up to both a switched ignition power source as well as constant battery source, or the clock and dome lights will not function properly. When hooked up properly, the clock display (red LED readout) stays on constantly, even with ignition off, giving me concern about battery drain. Within two weeks of installation the mode button stopped functioning (now I can only change mode from DVD to SD/USB with the remote). I'd love to exchange it through Walmart, but the only way to get it out is to pull my headliner and clip the wires, there's no plug-in for easy replacement. Just more trouble than its worth. The system frequently locks up and has to be restarted, and I cringe to think what feature will stop working next. I originally purchased this thinking It could double as a DVD player and MP3 player, and I would not have to upgrade the AM/FM radio in my truck. It indeed has this capability, but is rather painful to use. The only way to select songs/music is using the screen display and the remote, which is impossible while driving. The buttons on the unit, which would seem to be perfect for this function, are useless, so you cannot easily skip forward/back while listening without opening the display and looking at it. The FM transmit function worked quite well, although you have to turn the volume up quite high and get an unpleasant burst of loud static if you don't turn your radio off before the player. The only pleasant surprise was a "random" play mode for music on SD/USB devices; the manual did not mention this, and I only found it using the remote control. So it will randomly play songs from the music on SD/USB, somewhat alleviating my need to skip to the next song if I'm bored with it.

I bought this for all the features it had. Works through the radio, remote control, swivel screen and dome lights. However, the unit did not work. I paid a lot of money to an installer that installed a device that didn't work. So I now have no dvd and lots of bills and a hole in the roof of my car.

I bought this in Feb for our kids to watch while on vacation. I saw it was under $200 and the reviews were good so I figured this would be great. Boy was I wrong! Let's start with the instructions...half misprinted or spelled wrong. They were not helpful what so ever. Luckly my husband knew what he was doing or it would have never been put in. When he finally got it in....you could not hear the volume....I mean it was turned all the way up and you could not make out what they were saying at all....then he hooked it up thru the radio...ha,ha...hang that it up. There was so much static on the only station it would allow you to put it on you mind as well not have had it on. So then we ordered the head phones thinking that would help.....WRONG AGAIN...the dvd player would not allow us to choose the opt to connect the head phones to the player....I mean these are the same brand and the ones they tell you to by for it! O and then it only tells time in the military. I tell you what when they say you get what you pay for they are right! We bought a $200 overhead light! I will never by this brand again!

Purchased it online. Installed it at Best Buy which practically cost the same if you purchase the Installcard being offered here online with shipping and taxes plus we needed it installed ASAP (not available in stores - the people I asked at Hanover, MD location have no clue what the card is).
We had it installed before our trip to OC for this Memorial Day weekend. Kept our 2 year old son distracted and my wife was glad that she didn't have to keep our son distracted. She was able to concentrate on her Kindle 2 unit as well.
The screen clarity is great. We haven't tried installing a VCD yet or any other type of CD other than the movies purchased at a local store. The sound is ok - if you are parked. During our trip, we used the FM frequency feature. It actually sounded clear - very minimal "hissing". The unit itself does not look too bad - nice design.
I would definitely buy an XOvision brand again!

I did my research on many similar products and I just kept coming back to this one. The price was great and you definenately get what you pay for plus some. I had this TV professionally installed and it plays volume through the speakers in my car. All I do is tune to a certain radio station and volia, volume! This is great for young children and we no longer have a hectic ride home. I hope this review has been helpful. I will and have recommened this product to friends and family.

This DVD player has turned out to be a great product at a really good cost. If you are handy it was actually very simple to install. It took me 45 minutes to install in a Chrysler Town and Country and all three kids love it. It takes a little bit of time mounting it and running the power to the dome lights. The sound through the FM radio was a great idea because I didnt have to run any wires for it. I would recommend this player to anyone.

I thought this product was exceptional for the money. The clarity of the picture is average. Don't like the way the wires exit the rear of the unit, it makes hiding them difficult during installation. A big negative for me is there isn't a IR wireless headphone capability. It has a poor external speaker built in but it does have a necessary FM modulator function. All in all a good unit.

Overall its a great value. There are few things that annoying. If you have good hearing and if you are parked you can hear the noise from the motor, through the speakers. The screen is slightly grainy. For keeping kids entertained on a road trip they won't notice those things!! We travel a lot and go long distances and we love this dvd player!!

I purchased this for a trip to CA. It made it without any issues through the trip and for about 2 weeks after we got home. Then we started having issues. The volume control sign at the bottom of the screen is always on. We can't get volume sign or the bars to come off, it stuck. And now just a few days after that, the picture got really dark. You can't even see any faces anymore. Now I have to pay to have it un-installed and another one re-installed. I am not too happy about it. I have only been using for a month. Not sure if it is a defective unit or if this is just expected when you get a bargain unit.

This product is great! We had to have our last system taken out because it stopped working and were looking for a new system that was good but not expensive. We found this system online and decided to try it. Although the base was not as wide so that it didn't cover the hole that was currently exposed, our installer was able to construce a covering to fit the roof and hold the xovision system even with the same color interior which worked our great. The picture is very clear and the convenience of having the DVD open in the back makes it easy for us to change out the DVD ourselves. We've had the system now for two weeks and have had no problems yet.

Just installed the unit, in my 2005 kia sedona. Lucky that i am mechanically inclined. Other words it would be best to have a professional install it. In my case i cut all the rca plugs off and was able to hide the remaining wires. Unit looks and works wonderfully. I just used braces in the top of the headliner and attached the mount bracket to it. The unit very light in weight. Instructions are terrible and i wish it had wired headphone jacks. but oh well.I paid $198.88 2weeks ago, its now on rollback for $168.88. Was terrific value before, now it is a fantastic or better value now. Wish i had waited.

For the money, awesome! Challenging to install, but can be done. The volume is horrible, can't figure out why on full blast you can barely hear it either through the radio or directly through the RCA to headphone set-up. I wound up purchasing a guitar amplifier from Radio Shack for $30.00 and hooked it up to the headphone jack, finally acheived sound worth talking about.
