wiring up dvd player

I currently have 2 screens in the rear headrests and a dvd player in the boot. But im thinking of adding a 2nd dvd player so each screen has its own dvd player.

But im not sure how to power up the 2nd dvd player. Ive attached a pic showing the power connector (1) for both dvd players.

Whats the best and easiest way of doing it? Im thinking of getting some sort of splitter. One side will have a male plug going into the power supply and 2 females going to each dvd player.

Can someone help me out please?

ive just found these few items.

First i have found a 4 pin plug extension cable, i can just 1 more plug and create a splitter.

Or can get just buy the plugs and attach them to this splitter, I can remove the plugs that are already on it as they dont fit.

I'd go for the first option, alternatively if you are handy with a soldering iron or crimp plugs just buy two 4 pin plugs and wire them together and take the other end to your power source.
