Recommendations for a DVD System for My Toyota Sienna?

I have to disagree with the overhead system. They take up too much space and can block visibility! Just my two cents.

What about the cost? I noticed the prices for overhead systems can get quite pricey, some over $500! Is it really worth it?

That’s true! It might feel like splurging, but I think having a good quality, integrated system can save you headaches down the road. Think of it like investing in family peace on road trips!

Lol, peace on road trips is priceless! If all else fails, I guess we can revert to the classic ‘I Spy’ game.

I recently installed a DVD system in my Sienna and I highly recommend the Alpine 9-inch rear seat entertainment system. Super easy to use and has a sharp display!

That’s great to hear, Jennifer! How did you handle the installation? I might opt for a professional if it’s too complicated.

If you’re installing your own, be careful with the wiring! I once shorted out part of my system by not connecting the cables correctly. Always double-check your connections.

Very good point, Kathleen! What do you recommend for ensuring the wires are organized and safe?

Cable ties and heat shrink tubing are lifesavers! They keep things neat and help prevent any accidental shorts. Also, using a good fuse can save your system if something goes wrong.

I’ve noticed that my DVD player sometimes skips. Clean the discs regularly, and if that doesn’t work, consider checking the lens – it might need a cleaning too.

Good tips, Jeremy! Has anyone tried using a lens cleaner disc? I’ve heard they work wonders.

Absolutely! A lens cleaner can definitely help. Just be sure to use one that’s compatible with your system. It’s amazing how such a small thing can make a big difference.

Is anyone else experiencing a delay in sound when using HDMI? It’s driving me crazy during movies!

I’ve had that issue too! It usually gets resolved by resetting the system. It can be annoying though!

Well, at least it’s not just me! Maybe we should start a support group for DVD issues in Siennas. We could even have a DVD swap! Just kidding… unless it’s a good movie.
