Did you know that you can get portable car DVD player equipment in your vehicle without paying the dealer's top dollar option price? I've outlined the most frequent methods below and one of them is certain to be just right for any car on the road.In-dash car DVD playersAfter market in-dash portable DVD players come in a variety of styles. Some have screens built in and others include only the player and no display. Those with a screen require adequate dash area and are most appropriate for vehicles with very sizable front seat passenger areas - like giant SUVs. Screen size on these units is most often between 5 and 7 inches because the screen slides inside the unit while not working. The term DIN is often used to express the dimension of dash opening necessary for the component. Single din components are 2 inches tall and accordingly a double din dash opening will accommodate a component that is 4 inches tall. In dash units can be had with and without a television tuner.Tablet DVD players for carsTablet DVD players are just portable DVD players that do not fold. While they possess a dissimilar layout from the typical portable,Discount Portable Car DVD Player Options Articles they include all the same functions and are ideal for cars. Its very similar to comparing a laptop PC to a tablet PC. With a disc loader door located either on top or on the side, the tablet car DVD player mounts to the seat back with a horizontal orientation. External speakers are most often flush mounted on the surface of the device. Tablet DVD players aer frequently equipped with dual wireless headsets.Dual Screen Car DVD PlayersSimilar to the mobile DVD player case, dual car DVD players connect to the front seats and are excellent for viewing DVDs in the rear passenger compartment. There are 2 units in this arrangement and the actual DVD player mechanism is housed in one of those pieces. An IR transmitter in the main unit, sends the signal to the secondary display and the same image and soundtrack are concurrently shown on both screens. Both components have their own separate headphone jack and external speakers, but they share a remote since both pieces are playing the same disc.The majority of dual screen DVD players are equipped with sufficient in-car charging cables so that the unit's battery performance doesn't become a problem on lengthy trips. Flip Down Car DVD PlayersOne more option is to put in an in-dash unit that doesn’t contain an integrated screen and couple it up with a flip down DVD screen that suspends from the roof or other remote screens using IR or Blue tooth. For the ultimate in mobile entertainment, some folks go with roof mounting all-in-one systems that contain DVD, Game console, FM transmitter and TV Tuner. Numerous consumers like these and usually connect them for rear seat viewing and/or gaming.Mobile DVD Player CaseIf you are in search of a speedy and inexpensive solution, this might just be your answer. Cases are basically similar to a laptop case. You simply put your portable DVD player within the case, and secure it to the car's front seat backs for instant rear seat viewing. All you need to do is open the case, affix it to the seat back, and place the DVD player on the table-like case bottom. It straps into position and you are ready to watch DVDs. Obviously, this option assumes that you already have a portable DVD player with decent anti-skip technology. With this set up, your existing portable DVD player becomes your portable car DVD player, and you can take it with you when you exit the automobile.  Car cases are very economical but, obviously this option is not for front seat screening and relies on the unit’s battery or a compatible car charger for power.
