[pics] Passenger visor flatscreen and glove box DVD player

Here are some pics of the DVD system I installed over the weekend. My goals were as follows:
- Have something to play movies with on long drives to the cottage
- Non-instrusive aesthetically (easy on the eyes when not in use)
- Easy to access (switch discs)
- Maintain my BMW head unit at all costs (IPod, Bluetooth, etc)

Although the player supports the addition of backseat/headrest flatscreens (which are fairly inexpensive) I wanted to keep the system stealthed -- I have no insterest in using the system to impress people, I just want to play sports flicks and comedies (for passengers) and listen to live performances/concerts occasionally (on my own perhaps).

DIY costs range from $250 to $400 depending on player features and screen size (I chose the largest screen and a player with an integrated TV tuner).

If there's interest I can write up a tutorial however I would recommend most consider having this done professionally since it requires a lot of patience in addition to electronics and stereo/car-mod experience.
