Mobile car video system, front and center
The easiest way to get a mobile video system that serves the front seats in
your vehicle is to install an in-dash receiver with a built-in monitor. These
high-powered receivers feature motorized, retractable monitors (usually LCD,
and 6-1/2 or 7 inches), which act as TV screens for your videos, car
video system information displays, and sometimes system controllers. These
receivers are also typically impressive just from an audio standpoint; they
usually feature high-end internal components for great sound reproduction,
as well as extensive tone controls.
Mobile video receivers are also generally capable of extensive system expansion;
most allow you to connect extra audio or video components, plus useful gear
like DVD navigation and backup cameras.
Mobile video receivers, like this model from Clarion, fit in standard dash openings, and feature retractable LCD video monitors.
If you choose to go this route, you’ll most likely want a receiver with DVD playback, which basically acts as an all-in-one solution. In order to play a DVD, you’ll have to have your vehicle parked and the emergency brake engaged — this is strictly for safety reasons; you certainly don’t want to be distracted by the captivating images of your favorite films while cruising the Interstate at 65 m.p.h.! When you’re not watching a film, however, the display will act as your system’s command central, and, depending on the model, might even offer touch-screen control. Many car video systemreceivers also feature cool graphics, such as equalizer displays, that accompany your music.
