Recommendation on LCD+ DVD Reciever

[Streamium70]

Need some advice here on ICE setup. Will be collecting my car (WISH)in mid Dec. It comes with an in-dash 6.5" 2-DIN DVD player. Am thinking of changing it to those roof mounted type. Options:

 

a. Stay put (my kids will watch their 'Barney' from the in-dash display 'illegally')

b. Add a roof mounted LCD and link it to the DVD player (~$300-$400?, need advise on brand, cost and where)

c. Add one of those that can mounted on the headrest (eg. Nextbase) (price, brand, cost and where?)

d. Change the 2-DIN to 1-DIN, as for the LCD, for for b or c.

 

Advantage of c over b is that there is no drilling involved and you can transfer it to another car. Viewing angel is also better as it is more towards the eye level compared to those roof mounted (like watching movie in the front row seat) But, both my kids will try to go for the 'best' seat since it is located at the side iso central.

Hi, I am also thinkin of installing after market 7" LCD on my 2-Din dashboard, later add on the Kenwood KNA-G520 to turn in to a Navigation system.

 

Like to check is it illegal to install LCD screen on the dash board with VCD/DVD playable features? Heard can only install on rear seat?

Unable to comment on Alpine, as I have a friend who change his Alpine IVA-W300i to the Pioneer AVH-P6850DVD.

 

As for Sony, most comment that the loading of MP3 song on a DVD disc take more than 1 minutes.

 

I will not go for Sony, Kenwood or JVC. I prefer the Alpine and Pioneer due to it sound quality.
