Steps

   
    Determine where you want to install your monitors. Depending on your space, you have a few options. You can mount the monitors in the front seat headrests, have them mounted into a recess in the back of the front seats, or hang them from the ceiling.
   
    Decide which features you would like your DVD system to have. You have several to choose from and they will all affect your cost and the amount of space you will need for installation.
        Navigation system. Many mobile video systems also double as navigation systems.
        Video games. If you have the space and use your vehicle to drive children around (as is the case with many minivans), you may opt to add a video game system.
        Surround sound. Optimize your viewing experience with a surround sound speaker installation.
        Additional media players. If you have a large collection of VHS tapes, you may want to install a VCR alongside your DVD player. If you want to be able to watch television programming on your car video system, you can choose to install a satellite.
   
    Conduct an online search for DVD system manufacturers.
   
    Request brochures from each manufacturer on their line of products and use those brochures to decide which products best match your wants and needs.
   
    Shop around for your product and compare prices. Be sure to explore all of the following:
        Online retailers.
        Online auction sites.
        Classified ads, both online and in local newspapers.
        Auto upgrade and stereo shops.
        Retail stores with electronics departments.

Tips

    Consider accessibility when you're choosing the car video system features you want to include in installation. If you usually travel with a packed car, you will want your system components in a convenient place for easy access.
    Be sure to ask about installation when shopping around. Many stores include the cost of installation in your purchase, but online stores and private parties usually do not. If cost is an important factor in your decision-making process, you will want to find about installation before committing to purchase any mobile video system.

 Warnings

    If you do find the DVD system you are looking for used or through a private party, keep in mind that you may be forgoing the manufacturer's warranty.
    Don't forget extras like wireless headphones and composite video cables when creating your desired features list.
