This is OK for Wiggles like my boy watches but will depend on what you are looking to watch, will probably not cut it for an action packed feature film. The unit I bought had leads to go into back of sound system and also av out if you did want to connect to your dash monitor.
Like everything it depends on what you are looking for the system to do. For me and simple kids videos I got out of it for under $400 for a great looking and functioning system but without some bells and whistles. Places that I spoke to about getting more features like you are after in Sydney wanted closer to $2K.
This is a great link that helped me out if you do decide to DIY and are looking for a power source.

I know not exactly what you are looking for, i.e. places that can do it in Melbourne, but at least another option. |
I already have a standalone dual screen system that can connect via Fm transmitter and had this connected to power drawn from the cigarette lighter socket in our previous car. This actually works fine as I can already use the AV input/output at the back of the centre console to feed video from and to this but I would prefer something with a more OEM feel to it if I were to bother upgrading from this.
My primary concern is with mounting of the DVD player and exposed cables so it would be nice to have a more permanent integrated installation that doesn't look tacked on.
