What's great about it: Very Kid Friendly, Reasonable Price
What's not so great: Replaced the old unit that failed; not an exact match.
Awesome! 1,250 miles to Florida. 1,250 miles back. Almost 40 hours in the car and my 12, 10, and 8 year old children were very content with the drive. No problems. Nice big screen. Great picture.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nice design, swivel monitor
What's not so great: FM modulator had engine noise with car speakers, dective eject mechanism, does not come with a trim ring included in box
We ordered the Power Aqoustik overhead dvd player to replace a malfunctioning factory installed dvd player in our 2007 Toyota Sienna. Best Buy did a nice job with the install but the very next day the unit would not eject a dvd. Best Buy removed it. We shipped defective dvd player back and installed an Audiovox instead. We are very happy with the replacment unit and the service given to us by Best Buy Car installation services. I would recommend if you want an overhead dvd player to get the audiovox over the power aquostik.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: looks pretty... swivel feature is nice
What's not so great: no memory from where you left off on a movie, installation costs excessive. wont start up automatically with ignition.
*so disappointing. we purchased it so we could save a few $ by buying a custom dvd player and instead wish we would have bought a stock dvd player to avoid all this frustration and hassle.
*our minivan is a 2005 Honda Odyssey, and installation cost us double the standard install cost of $200.
*this player does not have memory from where you left off in the movie, which causes my kids frustration as to why they can't watch from where they were in the movie.
* if you have to turn your engine off for any reason(like running errands, at the grocery store, gas station, whatever), you lose where you left off in the movie, and more importantly, you have to eject the dvd then reboot the dvd player, then load, and then fast forward through all the previews or go to menu and then select the scene you think you were at.
*the only thing i like about it is the swivel feature which is convenient when you are the driver and need to do all these tasks above.
do yourself a favor and buy something else, or better yet, buy a stock one in your new car if you can afford it. i wish i had purchased a new car just to avoid this painful experience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Great picture quality, ease of use and great sound
What's not so great: The FM modulator forgets the preset from time to time and requires setting changes
I purchased this unit via bb.com and it arrived as expected. Took it over to the audio install at bb and they did a great job installing. The unit is far less expensive than a dealer installed unit. The install + the cost of the device was a bargain. I was concerned that the sound quality would be an issue as the unit uses an FM modulator that broadcasts near field FM signal to the stereo. The sound quality is excellent, the remote and buttons on the device are great and easy to access.
Two thumbs up!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!
