Has anyone with a 2007 Entourage attempted to have an aftermarket DVD player installed in the roof? If so, any problems or complaints? We found the additional $2000 price for the Premium Entertainment package too expensive to justify even though we believe a DVD player is a must have item in a minivan. In the end we bought the SE model with the Premium package and figured we could get an aftermarket player professionally installed for ~$750. Looking at Best Buy and Circuit City websites would suggest that no DVD models have acceptable fit for the 2007 Enbtourage. Visiting both store's installation departments, I was assured that nearly any of the models could be easily installed. I hate to have a young installer take apart a brand new vehicle but we must have DVD for trips. The portable types don't really interest me due the messing wires and lack of IR headphones. Just wondering if anyone else has taken this route already.

Yes. I have the same vehicle and response to the price of the Premium Entertainment package. I bought the Insignia 10.2" model that was onsale at BestBuy 2 weeks ago. It fit well into the area in front of the rear door lights. My only regret is not having external AV hookups for aux video devices (like PlayStations) and somewhat poor FM Transmitter reception in this model. Best Buy also warranties their labor for the lifetime of the product.

Replying to: bowulf (Aug 05, 2006 10:20 am) Do you find the screen brightness sufficient for daytime viewing? Do the IR headphones work OK and are there suitable for a child's head? (my daughter is only 2yrs) Any issues with head room in the second row? I've read the Sedona's factory unit is bad with this. How much of the driver's rear view is blocked during viewing? Thanks for the input. I've been struggling with this decision for weeks. |

The picture and brightness is great from all viewing angles. I have absolutely no problems with video of this unit. The IR headphones are definitely adult sized, but work fine on my kids (ages 12,9,8,8). My feeling though is that they may be too large for a 2 year old. Second row are absolutely not affected by the placement of the LCD screen. As for how much of your rear view is blocked, you have mirrors and can turn your head, right? Seriously it blocks most of it when it down. We just got back from a 800 mile road trip, and it was somewhat annoying being blocked. Given the alternative though (a smaller screen or mounted to the headsets), I still think I made the right choice.

I just installed the Full Front End Mask on my 07 Entourage SE. It looks awesome. I do quite a bit of Highway driving and the bug guard did not move me enough to get it so the dealer recommended the Bra. For a $100 you cant get hurt. Visit my carspace page for a pic of it if your interested. Bugs and paint chips be gone!
