Can you just put in a DVD and play it or do you have to down load movies? Is this device compatible with any headrest displays?

You have to download. The problem is we couldnt get anything to download. We tried video, music and pictures. Nothing worked.

You have to download movies which it is very difficult to do on this device. I never could get it to do right that is why I returned it. No it is a small handheld device not for a headrest.

prepare to sit for a long period of time on a computer messing with different formats, but once you sit through all that.. this thing is awesome... but no it does not take dvds

You have to download movies, videos, music clips or whatever u want to add to it but im not going to lie and tell u its simple! I googled reviews and found someone giving step by step instructions of how to do it and i got it done but for the price its worth it. My two kids love it!

No and no. Must put movie files on SD card. I just downloaded a bunch of old Disney Mickey Mouse, Chip and Dale, Goofy from the 30s and 40s and my kids loved it. Very weak battery though. Don't really need it anymore with YouTube, hulu, and Netflix on your smart phone.

You have to download then on to an sd card. But the sound is horrible on them. FYI

You have to download them. When you add them it needs to be saved on your computer then saved/moved to the players video file. Its really small and toddler sized so it wouldn't fit in a headrest

You need to have a flip and swivel type of portable DVD player. I use my car headrest all the time, especially on trips. I love it. Hope this helps?

No it cannot. It is not a dvd player. You can only play media files from an USB external hard drive or internal sata hard.

Yes, no problem, but remember You'll only be able to play it back on a disc drive that will play DVD's.

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.

Yea, this head unit plays DVDs directly with its internal drive. It also has one auxiliary audio/video input that allows you to play an external source on its video screen, and one auxiliary audio/video output that allows you to play a DVD on an external screen, such as a rear seat entertainment system.

Playing movies while your driving is not legal and not advisable. If you really wanted too you would have to bypass the Emergency brake wire , and just like you would do if testing the system on this or any other multimedia head unit. Again, don't get caught doing it, you will get a ticket and it's just not safe but only you can be the judge of that.

I just put in a DVD of .mpg and .avi files and it played them fine. No menu on the DVD, just files. It brought up a list of the files and you can select which on you wouldl like to play. Good feature.

No. This is only a monitor (screen). You have to buy a DVD player separately and connect it to the monitor. This is meant to be mounted in the headrest. You have to cut into the back of the headrest and attach it inside. Also, you have to run wiring to a source of power in the car (like a cigarette lighter circuit or a wire to the fuse box). It's a very nice system, but quite a lot of work to install properly. For headphones, it just has a 3.5 mm jack to plug into (not wireless).

Not sure about your question..On the side of this headrest there is an opening for u to hook up car cord adapter. Some mounts you have to take dvd player out because they are completely sealed. Not this one. If your dvd player didnt come with car adapter, best bet is go to best buy to purchase one. Just let them know exactly what model dvd player you have and head rest mount.

Hi, we have a Xoom which is like an iPad, so we didn't use it for a DVD player. Sorry.

I never thought to try those disks, but I just tried a music CD and it played fine. I don't have any music DVDs to try, but my guess would be it plays them also. It obviously does play movie DVDs.

I recommend using a playstation 3 for that. It'll play movies from usb stick or sd, pro duo memory cards. I also use mine for blueray and dvds.

Idk what a disc drive is but you can play dvd on it. And if u get a caddy you can put a different harddrive to it. Also be aware and ask the seller if it has all the latest drivers. Mine didn't and it sucks because I can't figure out how to get updates on them. And I am a computer geek.

Yes the headrest can play the same video at the same time. Plus be on the screen in the front when you are parked.

If the DVD had an hdmi port just use an hdmi.cable. Look into an rf modulator if it doesn't.

Yes, you can use any of your sources (DVD, iPhone, navigation, etc.) to an external display. Keep in mind that this system was designed specifically with Apple products in mind. So if you're talking Netflix and all that, yes!

For example, while listening to the radio or other audio source in the front, DVD can be enjoyed in the rear with the optional rear monitor"
