I am replacing my JBL system with a Clarion MAX675 DVD (if I can find the mounting kit) or a flip out DVD with head rest monitors, rear view camera (a must! Don't use a mirror monitor because it is too dark, I have one on now) and a replacement powered sub and tapping into the factory speakers for now (only because of the center channel). and it sounds better than mine! He got almost everything at Best buy, everything is hidden except for the deck and it really sounds clean and good for the few hundred he paid for the equipment (about $700). I thought that it would be better and having an OEM system would be just easier and good enough, No way! My friend has an older Sienna and put in an Alpine CD Deck, replaced all of the speakers with simple Infinity replacements and put in a small 6" powered sub. If you were planning on paying extra to get it. I have the JBL Synthesis System with the DVD and the Sub in the back. I don't mind listening to The Sound of Music or High School Musical while I drive, just as examples of what we've played for a bigger audience.

If there are more people in the car, we just pick a movie with a nice soundtrack. I don't think the headsets have any outputs.īasically, for the 2 of them, we use headphones. I need to look to see if there are sockets for wired headsets on my player, not sure. Range is not that great (shouldn't matter), but the sound quality for my kids is fine. Not sure how they work, come to think of it, but they do. I do not think they use FM transmitters, because they work no matter what FM frequency I choose on the DVD player. The 2 that came with it were enough for me, at least for now. The huge side mirrors compensate somewhat.Įxtra headsets were $40 at Circuit City. My 12" screen block the top half of the rear view mirror, so a 15" screen would probably block the entire view. That solves your problem, 2 birds with one stone.ġ5" is enormous. My overhead DVD player came with a dome light. Dealer ordered one and replaced it with no fuss. Let me try to answer them one by one, at least the ones I think I know. I can't comment on the Myron&Davis unit since I didn't go that route but I can tell you the kids think the 12.1" screen is awesome! I'd give that install a thumbs up. Here's a link to one web site that sells a combo of the screen and then a separate DVD player small enough to fit in the glove compartment: The DVD player needs to be added separately. (Plus you don't lose the rear audio controls as with the Jensen approach.) Another down side there is that it is just a screen. It's a smaller screen but that's because it replaces that flip down storage compartment. If that's not your cup of tea there is a Myron & Davis monitor you can put in the flip down part of your existing rear audio unit. They can add that if you want to pay an additional installation fee for them to run a separate power wire up to the ceiling (I didn't). There isn't a separate power supply in the ceiling for them. The other note is that the dome lights built-in on the Jensen unit won't work. They are just secured up in the ceiling so you can get them back if you reinstall the rear audio control panel. They do unhook your rear audio controls (I didn't need them or care so works for me).
They did a very good job (may vary by the tech you get I guess). Even if it doesn't I'm rather particular about those things and I'm OK with the real slight fabric indentation, you basically have to look carefully to see it.Ī couple other notes regarding the Jensen installation. There is a slight indentation where the rear audio pressed up against the fabric of the ceiling but it was better than what I was anticipating and I'm hoping over time that will completely disappear. To sum it up the Jensen was slightly smaller but still covered the hole of the rear audio unit (barely).

Circuit City installers said they'd see if it fit and if it didn't then I could return the unit for a full refund and try a different alternative. It was a gamble going into the install since the Jensen unit was just slightly smaller than the rear audio control unit. (No $900 online price for them to honor - the web site has the same price as the store now.) The installation was included in the $999 price.
I went with the 12.1" Jensen unit from Circuit City. I have an '05 XLE that also has the rear audio controls.
