dual dvd player

(5 out of 5) by P. JEN on Mar 15, 2007 (Florida, United States)
fast service from discount jungle. easy to output to additional monitor. my kids love it. search web to add code to disable safety feature to watch while driving. Went to crutchfield to get the installation accessories. It works well with ipod video, although i need to encode at a higher definition.For the price, great value and product. Planning to buy another one for my other vehicle.

I received a faulty product but its crappy anyway.

(1 out of 5) by Mauricio Rojas on Aug 27, 2007
I received mine and installed. It has good sound even with my car's stock speakers. The screen has very low resolution and on high lightning days is hard to see. The really bad news were that its touch screen is crazy or something. It doesnt work correctly, some commands doesn't work. In ipod mode in order to navigate I push over and over the root botton on the screen and it simply restarts the current song. I hope amazon refunds to me. I buyed this because its lot of features (ipod control) and cause it is cheap too. But take this advice. Stay away for it. In forums very few people talk or know anything about it. It is a ultra low end product. Thats the reason similar products cost double cash. I wrote to manufacturer asking for support 2 weeks ago and still waiting for answer.

This is excellent, My wife wants now to get another for her car, The only detail I find is that you can only control de Ipod music from the stereo, I think this is more confortable if you control the ipod music directly from the ipod screen and not from the Stereo screen. I kept the original car saound and it got much better with this stereo. I feel satisfied.

You get what you pay for!!! And hey its a Dual

The player worked great and was a decent deal for the money... Had a couple problems though.... I would put in a dvd and it would sound like the player was tearing itself apart figured out that the wiring was screwy and i fixed that so it worked perfectly... I really hate the "safety" feature on the device which makes it so you have to put parking brake on/off/on/off/on (quickly i found works better) and leave it for 10 secs before the actuall picture would go through or you have to do it again. I found if you just ground the cable to the frame (test if there's any current going through frame, OR THIS WONT WORK!!!!) wire a spare wire/cable to frame then wire the other end to a switch and the other side of the switch to the yellow ground cable they give you that goes into stereo. Then to play movies just flick the switch franticly and then turn to "off" position it should play unless you did something wrong. I did it because I dont know about you but using the brake is a hassle and if your on a hill its just a pain to do... just be smart DONT PLAY MOVIES WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And a couple more things is that the screen is very touchy and will crack easy. and the motor that makes screen come out usually will die after a year of use. BUY THE INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $40 for 4 years is worth the cost!!! I used to work at Best Buy and this item (and almost all dual and kenwood) has the highest return rate. Dont say i didnt warn you when it dies in a year maybe two if your lucky, and then you've basically thrown $400 away.
