I for some reason seemed to skip over in the product description that it comes with 2 video game remote controls. I don't know why they don't emphasize on this more but this system comes with a DVD full of video games on it. There are seriously like 50+ different games on it. Some include the retro classics like PacMan and Super Mario. BTW, they are not rip-offs either. Most of the games are like hangman and racing games, but there are so many the kids would never get bored.
Only real negative I have is that the directions are horrible. I had a family member install this and he said the directions were a joke, much like what the 1 other review of this product stated. I also was just wanting to learn the logistics of it and the instruction booklet does not explain much at all. If you are the type of person that really NEEDS directions, this is not the system for you. It is for the most part pretty easy to navigate and figure out on your own, but I ran into some issues with something and it was a trial and error kind of thing.
I also want to mention not to take advantage of the free shipping option if you are looking to receive within a week. The shipping was a little on the slow side for me. I purchased through the amazon warehouse on August 8th and used the free option and was told I wasn't going to receive until the 24th! It did come about a week earlier than that, but I wouldn't count on that happening. They don't pull the money out until they ship it though so you don't have to go through that hassle should you decide to change your mind and don't want to wait that long.
Hope this helps someone out!Purchased this model last week. The directions that came with the unit were pretty vague in terms of the install. The older model has a link to a video another customer created showing the install steps, which was a little more helpful. In my case there is no easy way to use the dome light adapter, so I cut the wires and used the smallest wire nuts I could purchase from Lowes. Also had to purchase longer screws. I found the easiest way to wire the unit is to disconnect dome light and video wires from the bottom of the DVD player, tie the wires together in this pattern:
Black from car with both blacks from the unit (Ground)
Brown from car with yellow from unit (Unit Dome Light door switch)
Blue from car with both reds from unit (Power for player and lights)
Then feed the wire through the mounting plate. Screw the mounting plate into the roof of the car, then plug the wires back into the bottom of the unit itself, feed as much of the extra wire back under the mounting plate and finally screw the unit into the plate. Now the unit plays DVDs fine, but I am still trying to figure out the best formatting to use. I purchased a 16GB SD card and I would like to put a bunch of movies \ shows on the card, so we always have a selection available for the kids. I took a bunch of DVDs I have and used a software package to convert them to MP4 files, but the player locks up when I try and play them from the card. The manual has no details about how to format the files or what card sizes are supported. It is possible the 16GB card is too large for the unit, but it does see files on the card, but won't let me select anything other then the first one and then locks up playing that one. I am going to try some other formatting and resolution options to see if that works. Will update review then, but for now the DVD player part works and IR headphones work well. I did notice FM tuner was static filled for me. I prefer the kids use headphones anyway, so I can have a quiter ride and maybe listen to adult music on long trips.We bought this because the price was within the budget and I thought the game feature would be great! Well, the kids had played the game for about 10 minutes and the metal part that you plug into the DVD player started bending and was actually breaking (so if you want a DVD player with game accessories, get a cordless one!). The games offered were great, the old classics. After we had it for about 10 days, the DVD was in the middle of a movie and the screen went white and wouldn't work. We tried everything, but the only thing we could get was a white screen. So, we called the company, and the guy wasn't helpful on what to do, he said just send it back and they will replace it. Well, for the money, I expected a lot higher quality and wasn't very impressed so we decided just to return it and will try another brand. So, just waiting for the confirmation on the return and also the refund money...Very good value for money, with usb sd card options and comes with 300 games + 2 controllers.great product. Very easy to fit

We purchased this product to replace an existing ceiling mount system that no longer would load DVD's into it. As other reviewer's have stated the install instructions included with this unit are not detailed enough to make installation go smoother and quicker. I have worked in the car stereo industry before so I was able to easily figure out what needed to be done.Pros:
The screen quality is great, the IR capabilities are excellent and the sound is clear and crisp thru the IR headphones we have. The game controllers and gaming disc that this unit came with are an excellent addition that gave the kids something else to do besides just watching movies. The unit is very easy to use and does look good when fully installed.
Cons:
Installation is an issue as the instructions are not clear enough. After having the unit installed and working great for 2 weeks it all the sudden started stating "No Disc" with any DVD that was insterted into it. I even insterted a brand new never used DVD into it and it came back with the same message. The gaming disc also will no longer work since the issue we are having with it started occurring. This basically has made the unit unusable as our primary use for it is for the kids to watch movies from DVD. I have made contact with Pyle audio in hopes that they will assist us with resolving this challenge quickly and efficiently. One other complaint I have is that the player itself seems to scratch up the discs quite a bit more then normal. I will update this review after I have spoken to pyle audio in regards to this issue.
