I have this DVD player installed in a 2001 Suburban. It fits and looks great with the optional Audiovox overhead console for the Suburban. I opted for that so I wouldnt lose the back seat air controls from the original overhead console.The unit is easy to operate and works very well. Its screen doesnt close easily and I probably would have thought this to be a defect if the installer hadnt mentioned it when he was showing me how to operate it. A 16:9 screen would be cooler, but for the car the screen size is just fine. The only problem Ive noticed is that it seems to have problems handling imperfections (scratches/fingerprints/debris) on a DVD. It sometimes gets stuck (i.e. pauses) at certain points in a movie. So far this has only happened on DVDs that have visible scratches, fingerprints or debris on them. Skipping forward a little works to get past the problem. Since these same DVDs work flawlessly in our home DVD players and any flaws in the DVDs are very minor Ive thought about taking this player back for a replacement. But, since it hardly ever happens Im okay with it. Our kids (4 and 2) really like having this in the car. We recently took a trip across the state and when the kids werent sleeping or coloring, they were watching movies. It was the first long trip during which we didnt hear the "are we there yet" chant from the back seat. The kids were totally content.

I bought this and had it installed and within the week, it stopped working. I had it replaced and had to add an extended warranty because Im not sure how long it will work. The 8 in screen is great. It is annoying to have to select the FM reception each time it is turned on to hear it. The screen doesnt close very easily into unit. I havent had any problems with the Audiovox video in a bag so I thought Id give their DVD system a try. Its only been a week, but its still working.
