Alpine Overhead DVD Player

**West.TX.08.Sierra** · 08-07-2008, 11:57 PM

Attached are pics of the Alpine overhead DVD player we installed last night. I'd like to say it was easy but I can't. However, I can't say that it was difficult either. My only grab is that I wish it came in aluminum to match the trim. Oh well...my kids don't care what color it is!!!

Looks good! I want to do the same in my 'burb for the kids on long trips. How much did the unit run you, if you don't mind my asking?

This one was $699 on Crutchfield. There are some around $500 but nobody had anything bad to say about the Alpine so I went with it.

i'm looking at getting the same one for my wifes Malibu, how is it operating since the install? how is the quality, im guessing you bought the extra headphones for 20 bucks?

No...didn't get the extra headset just yet but I fully intend to. The picture quality is awesome! I haven't been able to find an adapter for the FM antenna to complete the install on the modulator, however, the sound quality is still great.

So far- No complaints!

Appreciate the link! That's the modulator which I have. I just need the adapter to connect the antenna to the rear of the head unit. I appreciate you taking the time to look that up though.

that looks real good, do you have any glare problems with it? like weak contrast, i have a buddy that put the same type player in the back of a jimmy and has had some white contrast problems with it, but im sure its just his...
