Neat solution, and very inexpensive for good quality stuff.
 
The only catch is it blocks the pass-through to the rear seats. That probably doesn't matter once the kids are past toddler age, though.
 
Is that mount easy to remove?

Yes, it does block the pass through. We have a center console that blocks the pass through as well. (We just move it when we have to go to the back.) So even if we did have the overhead DVD player, we would still have to move the center console. The mount is secure and is easy to mount and remove. only takes a few second and there are no parts to keep up with. Ours mount is stored under the drivers seat out of view when not in use. The only draw back with our set up is that it takes a few more minutes longer to take the mount, PDVD player, and wireless transmitter for the head phones down to store it. (Compared to just flipping the screen up, on the over head DVD player, and turning off the ignition switch.)

2 more questions...
 
Do you leave it in the car, or remove it each time?
 
And do the front seats have to be lined up with each other? Shouldn't matter too much as vans have plenty of legroom for everyone.

We leave everything else in the van except the PDVD. (It goes in the house, since we really don't use it that much.) One can leave it in the vechicle out of sight, if they choose. The front seats don't need to be at the same position. (Of course, you can't have one all the way reclined and expect the screen to be leveled.)

Sounds cool, thanks for sharing the details.
 
I just got one of those visor mounted DVD holders to remind us to use ours more often. Before they were in the door, and we had to fish for them.

Town & Country Factory DVD Player by cowbell9

I recently purchased a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Touring edition (no sunroof). I am trying to figure out which factory DVD system I should purchase. There are 4 types mopar sells. 2 have the DVD player in the overhead unit and the other 2 have the player in the dash. I would like to have the player in the dash. the car also came with rear seat climate controls that are placed right where the overhead unit goes. Anyone out there know what one to buy?
