Roadview RHM-9.0T 9-Inch Headrest with Built-In DVD Player (Tan) Review

Our dealership had this installed in our 2009 Kia Sedona as our entertainment package. They work great and look pretty good. They are a little darker, but not really noticable. They work well and make long travel much more pleasant. The kids can watch their movies and I can listen to music. We had 2 installed so each child can watch their own movies, but their wireless headphones work on each dvd player so if they want to watch the same movie they can both hear. The build in cover looks great when it is zipped up hiding and protecting the dvd player. This is a great product!

First I want to note that the image provided by Amazon is for an older model; take a look at my pictures or look at the Roadview website (this may get corrected).
I am very pleased with this product. I have owned it for a month or so and just got back from a 3800 mile road trip where it was in use constantly. I installed it in a 2008 Hyundai Entourage.
Pros: It came with every cable needed (including an adapter for the mini front input). The built in FM modulator worked well. The built in speakers were adequate for the seat directly facing the screen (the volume had to be turned up a few notches from full when at 70 miles a hour - I suppose this is very vehicle dependent). The post fit in standard holes perfectly and you could still adjust the height (it came with several adapters to adjust the fit if needed). The screen is pretty good quality and is still easy to watch even in the middle of the day. I loved the zipper cover, which when closed makes the headrest look stock to the casual observer (or thief) and protects the screen. The remote works well and the controls are easy to use. The headrest blends in well, is made from quality material, and the angle is adjustable (to help people of different heights see the screen better).
Cons: The biggest fault I had with this unit is the documentation is very vague (for instance: even though the FM modulator setup is straightforward, it is not even listed in the instructions). For the most part I was able to spend a few minutes playing with everything on it and I just tossed the instructions anyway. The other thing I noted above is the built in speakers are a little weak. There was also one instance where we had to open and close the DVD door latch to get the "door open" warning to clear from the screen so the DVD would play - this only happen once over a three week period, but I thought I should note it.
Conclusion: I am really happy with this product and I would recommend it. I compared it to several others before buying and I am pleased with the price given the screen size and features.
Other Notes: This unit has a companion screen which it can share its video output with through an included cable (if you want to save money by only having one DVD player): Roadview RHF-9.0G 9-Inch Headrest Monitor (Gray). It can also accept a video input from an additional source (in addition to the front input), which is great if you want to plug in a game system. I am only noting these features, because I found them while researching this unit, but have not actually used them.
Install Tip: I only wanted a semi permanent install so I removed the seat back ran the power wire below (the power and video wires are in the post) and spliced it into an old 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter which I plugged into the van's power point (so if needed I could easily swap it to another car, just by unplugging it).

Pair of TAN Headrest 7" LCD Car Monitors with Region Free DVD player USB SD Inc. Wireless Headhones and 32 Bit Games Review

The DVD players are sturdy and offer dozens of functions not found on OEM systems. The guts of the DVD players are clearly marked Sony. The tan head rests are well constructed and they match the leather in our Navigator. They play DVD-Rs and Video CDs with no issues. Movies can also be watched from a thumb drive or an SD card in several different digital formats. Some MP4s will play, others won't. The head phones have two channels and work perfectly with either DVD player. Video quality is surprisingly good, especially after changing the default setting of PAL to NTSC. Basic functions are on the front of the DVD player, but advanced functions require you use the remote control. The 32 BIT games are for children over 10. The 8 BIT games (optional) are old 1970-1980s arcade favorites and the younger kids love them.
Installation was easy taking about 90 minutes to do a professional level job. The pre-installed Power and Video/Audio-Out line runs down one post of the head rest while the Video/Audio-In line runs down the other post. The cables dropped through the back of the seat and were easily routed down the side of the seat and beneath the center console (comepletely out of sight). I removed the back panel of the center console where I connected the Video/Audio cables and tapped off of a cigarette lighter power cable for the 12VDC. The cables are very long giving you all kinds of cable routing options. End result was an OEM style DVD system that costs $1000 less.

Pyle PL71PHB Headrest Pair with Built-in 7-Inch TFT-LCD Monitors (Black) Review

Pyle PL71PHB Headrest Pair with Built-in 7-Inch TFT-LCD Monitors (Black)
Average Reviews:

Before I go into details, I want to mention that I'm very pleased with the purchase although I rated it as 4-stars.
I have serious doubts buying this one since it has no reviews.
I've installed these in my car, connected to media center and use two IR headsets. The system worked great for the past two weeks and we finally can drive in peace for long distances.
Build: The quality of the product surprised me. I expected it to be less - according to the price. The headrest itself is done from leather-like material. It has hice feel and looks good in the car. I have grey interior and black headrests are OK there (it's not really dark black). The monitor appearance is great. Buttons are small and work well. The cables and the connectors are OK as well. You even have some filter box on the DC wires and the plug.
Screen: The description states 1400x230 pixels. Well. I have no idea what 1400 means, but the picture is good. The quality remains good even if you connect both monitors to one DVD player thru V-connector. Kids have no problems with it.
Installation: Not really, but quite easy.
Some additional notes:
1. You can tilt the screen up and down together with the headrest. It is very convenient to the child since you can match the height, but I think that it creates some sort of safety hazard for you since the headrest does not really support your head. You cannot adjust both: the headrest to protect you and the monitor for convenient watching. Plus, you cannot really fix the headrest to resist car crash. I personally do not care, but other people might.
2. The description mentions two AV inputs. This is not completely true. You have the cable in the pole and the AV input at the front. I thought that I can connect two devices thru the pole cables since I don't really want anything connected to my front panel. I thought to have two media centers connected to both monitor, to allow the kids watching same/different movies by just changing AV input. This is impossible because in the pole you have two video inputs but ONLY ONE audio input. You can connect DVD and rear view camera. But who needs rear view camera on the rear seat. This is just stupid design. I gave 4 start only because of that.
3. I was not aware that IR connection does not have any frequencies... Therefore, the headsets receive signal from both monitors. So basically you cannot broadcast two different signals if you use IR.
4. Last note is you do not have car adapter. The monitors has two wires (red and black) that you have to connect to the car electrical system or buy the adapter yourself (additional 10$).
Good luck

On long trips, it’s important to keep the backseat entertained and the driver comfortable. That’s where this pair of black adjustable headrests with built in 7" LCD monitors comes in. The picture on the screen is bright, crisp and accurate, thanks to the 1440x234 resolution, 300:1 contrast ratio, 25ms response time, and 16:9 display ratio. These take two standard RCA inputs, so you can hook up your DVD player, video iPod, or video game console with ease. A full function remote control provides complete wireless access to your monitor’s settings. The kids will enjoy themselves in the backseat and you’ll be comfortable and safe in the front knowing a headrest will protect you. Use the built-in speakers, or IR wireless headphones, so you can enjoy peace of quiet while the backseat has a blast. Best of all, these headrests are easy to install, and fit in many car and SUV models.

Highs: 1yr warranty. Better quality than non-branded units on ebay. Ability to connect 2 headrests together to play and watch from either or both headrests. Infra-Red headphone capable but not included.
Lows: Games/game controller are low quality. No headphones.
I purchased this Pyle DVD headrest to replace a similar looking non-branded DVD headrest that I purchased on ebay that only lasted 30days before the display went out. I will never get burned by ebay and questionable sellers with no warrany and a 7-day return policy again. Note: I wasn't able to leave feedback to warn others on ebay because it was past 30days. Ebay simply said Oh-well, that's our policy.
This Pyle DVD headrest has a 1 year warranty and it has the video/audio in/out cables to connect 2 of these DVD headrest in the car. The kids love the option of watching their own movie or watching the same movie. Our kids are 6 and 8, so my wife or I usually have to get the movies going because the remote might be confusing, at least until they get used to it.
The Pyle DVD headrest is better quality than the ebay unit I replaced. For example, the hinge is more robust and the flat, flexible ribbon cables have a strain relief and guide to prevent damage. All around it seems that Pyle's engineering specified a higher end product. The instruction manual is also better than the off-brand unit that I have.
The IR headphones that we had from the previous headrest work perfect with the Pyle DVD headrest and have both A and B channels. I wish Pyle included a set.
Don't buy it for the games.
