After installing I sat in the 3rd row seats and discovered that the headphones cut out. Leaning forward about 6 inches, they'd come on. The range was only about 3 feet! So I called Pyle. Service dept. was decent. I got hold of a rep with in a few minutes. They had me send the unit to Pyle's office on Dec 30 even tho I was a little beyond my 30 day Amazon return time. On Jan 10 I got it back. Not too bad considering it was over the New Year holiday and two weekends. They included a note that said they replaced the infrared bulbs. By the way, since i spent a good deal of time installing the mounting bracket and wiring, I only sent in the main dvd unit and kept the bracket installed in the van. Re-mounting the unit to the bracket is easy with the quick connectors. Biggest problem is lining up the 6 screws with the holes in the bracket (those extra long screws help here..) And I'm pleased to report that the range for the wireless headphones is fine now.
I do have a few complaints about the unit. First, the manual is poorly written. Parts of it read as though its broken English, like someone in China tried translating. The remote isn't intuitive and doesn't work from the driver's or front passenger seat. That's particularly irritating I thought I'd be okay with a model like this with the dvd player built in to the roof monitor b/c I assumed (incorrectly) that'd I'd be able to control the unit with the remote from the driver or passenger front seat. Luckily, the monitor swivels around enough to see it from either front seat, so its still workable. Also, my 6 y/o is better at using the remote then I am, so he can run it himself from the back seat.
The unit has built in speakers, but don't plan on really using them on the road they're not loud enough. It also has RCA audio output (and video too) that I connected to the factory radio but I got a lot of hum and engine noise. I didn't have much luck with the FM transmitter a lot of static. Plan on buying IR headphones. When its dark, the infrared bulbs glow red and are visible in the unit's passenger side light compartment.
The unit has a clock display, kind of a nice feature, but it apparently is only a 24 hour/military clock. Not a deal breaker, but my 6 year old is completely baffled by military time.
The memory doesn't seem to work. That is, if you turn the unit off the dvd starts from the beginning next time you turn it on. I'm quite sure I wired it correctly, there is a lead to the battery (for lights, clock and supposedly memory) as well as to switched power (for dvd/monitor power) and the manual indicates that there is a "memory stop" and "memory play" but I can't get that to work.
UPDATE: There is a setup menu setting to turn "Last Memory" on. The default is "off". And even turning it on, it seems to have a mind of its own sometimes working, other times not.
Having said all that, my kids love it, the unit was pretty inexpensive, service was pretty good, the swivel monitor is a nice feature, the picture quality is good, and the wide screen is plenty big enough. When the monitor is down, it blocks about 1/3 of my rear view in the mirror. When its up, I can't even see it in the mirror.I bought the PLRD-92 and I have to say, that it DOES have a built in IR Transmitter. I bought a set of wireless headphones and they work GREAT. the sound quality is excellent, even to the Radio thru the built in FM Transmitter. I contacted PYLE prior to making this purchase and they told me that the unit DOES come with built in IR Transmitter. I don't understand why people here on Amazon reviews are saying otherwise. You do have to keep in mind that wireless headphones ONLY work when they are in-front of the unit, not behind it. it is a safety feature to keep people from using the wireless heaphones while driving. The side with the LED lights on this unit should be facing back, because it is on that side of the unit that the IR sensors are located. The signal to the headphones is automatically disconnected when the headphones go past the point where the IR sensor is located. again, ITS A SAFETY FEATURE. I am very happy with my PLRD-92 and HIGHLY reccomend it to anyone in search of an affordable Pulldown DVD player for their vehicle.I've had pretty good luck with Pyle players. This unit has worked really well for me. A great product for the price and can be installed with nothing other that power run to the player. I didn't have any problem mounting it to the roof in my mini van (one reviewer mentioned that screws were too short. While it might be a bit easier with longer screws, depending on the design of your car's roof, longer screws might be a problem). I tried the IR audio transmitter once and it seemed to work okay. I almost exclusively use the FM transmitter and route the sound through the car stereo. I have almost had no problems (signal strength has been fine, but a couple of times the FM transmitter mysteriously stopped working. A power off and back on of the unit fixed it both times though).
My favorite feature is the ability to read data video files off of CD, DVD, SD card, or USB memory. That means I can load up a DVD-R with 4 or 5 divX movies or pop in a memory card and be good to go. that gives my kids a lot more to watch on a lot fewer DVDs. The only downside to that is (at least with divX files) the auto resume feature doesn't work.
The only negative that I have is that I have lost the remote and not all of the playback features are available on the player itself. There are arrow keys that let me navigate DVD menus and scroll through media files, and I can play, stop and pause, but I have now fast forward/back or skipping options.
I have been using it for over a year and overall I have been very happy and have recommended the unit to others. Especially when compared to the factory DVD option in vehicles, which is usually several thousands of dollars and a smaller screen, this unit is a steal.I purchased this DVD player after reading reviews and wasn't too sure about it. As most of the comments stated, the FM Transmitter is horrible!! You have to turn your radio up almost all the way to hear anything out of it. And even then, the static in the sound is just horrible! I have 2 older IR headphones that my kids use, but even then, they have a noticeable hum! Other than the sound, the lights on the unit turn on by themselves!! I came out to my Suburban in the morning and found the lights ON... when I open the door, they turn off... quite annoying! Thinking about returning it for a different brand/model. Other than that, installation was a breeze and the video quality is great!!
--------UPDATE 9/23/2012--------
I have contacted Amazon for a replacement on this DVD player! The unit quit working ENTIRELY!!! The only thing that still works, is the ONE annoying blue light that dims, then brightens at night while your driving!! When I receive my new player, I won't be connecting the lights! They never worked correctly from the beginning. I contacted Pyle's Customer Service about the issue, and they told me how to wire the lights... DUH! I already had the lights connected, YOUR people somehow messed that up!!
A replacement is on it's way, and hopefully this one will be better! Unfortunately, I have to buy a direct connect box for my '02 Suburban to get any kind of decent sound without turning my radio to the max!!
--------UPDATE 12/9/2012--------
A replacement arrived a while ago for this DVD player! Just now getting to updating my review! The new player works GREAT!! I would definitely take it over the $700 one that was installed into my Mini-Van when I purchased it!! The one thing that I recommend... do NOT hook up the lights that are in the player!!!!!! The lights are what initially caused the static disturbance in the radio! The FM Transmitter built in works fine, just don't hook up the lights!!!

Master Lock 2953AT 12-Volt DC Portable Winch
It has a built in handle for carrying, detachable power and control cords, and enough cable to get you within 25 feet or so of whatever you are winching. It has a 2000 lb rating, and will pull that much easily. Not quickly, but easily. It has a manual crank that can be attached to the shaft. It also has a very handy mounting plate designed to slip over the ball on a ball-hitch.
The clutch is manual, and drag is set by means of a threaded knob on the shaft. It is very simple to use. Simply connect the power and control cables, loosen the clutch, pull the cable to whatever you need to pull and hook it up. Then tighten the clutch and press the button on the control handle and start winching. Be patient. There is only one speed and it is slow. But it works.
I have tested the winch by hanging it from a beam and picking up the front of a truck with no problem. Then we really put it to the test by using it to pull our garden tractor out of the mud. It was a long pull so we needed to add a tug strap but it was easy enough to hook up. The pull was painless. The winch is slow because it gets it's power through gearing. It is quite a drain on a car battery, so it helps to leave your engine running while you pull.
Not something you would want to use every day but very handy to have around. For my money this is a 5-star tool. Great for the boat owner or for use around the farm.While mowing my lawn, my Sears Lawn Tractor got away from me. While I was working to get it unstuck, it rolled down a steep hill. (Had it not hit a tree, it would have gone off a 20 foot cliff). The wheels got stuck behind large rocks. I bought the winch to pull it up a 40 foot hill, with at least a 45 degree incline. I had to use an additional tow rope even though the instructions warn against this. The winch pulled the tractor up and saved me the money and embarrassment of having to call a tow truck. It worked beyond my expectations.

I welded the mount plate to my utility trailer. It works good for dragging a riding mower up the back. Used it for some construction stuff to. Not super duty or quickbut gets the job done.Read Best Reviews of Master Lock 2953AT 12-Volt DC Portable Winch Here
I have a bad back, I love to kayak, and have two, a 138 and a 160t Old Town kayaks.My back couldn't get the 160t up on trailer with out straining 70lbs.(I have 3 Cockers that go with me, they can't help lift), I now just align it and press a button. It goes right up and I'm not injured or sore, so I can kayak longer and further. I give leverage 10 stars on this one. Yes, it takes a little time to set it up, but well worth it. I'm over 60. I've got it down to only a couple of minutes now.

the most frustrating thing is the speed; it is ultra slow, ULTRA...it also kept coming off of it's mounting bracket as there is a lot of wiggle room when placed over the mounting studs...it would seem you really need to make further arrangements in bolting this to it's mounting plate, a lunch pin for example.i mounted it on the tractor and went to haul up some logs. the cable run is about 30feet; sounds like a lot until getting down in a ravine and seeing just how short that is...i attached an added chain, but still there was only a 30foot run at a time before having to go back down and make new attachments.
i do belive the pulling data is very accurate, i tried to pull my 2500 pound tractor on a 5% grade. it did it BUT i could have retired in the process...ULTRA slow.
there may be times when very slow is good as in tightening fence lines, pulling in a boat....but most of what i do around the farm speed is more important to me...if i were to guess i would say it winches in at about 6inches a minute. they say not to run the motor more than 8-12 minutes...so, gee that figures out to be a whopping 6feet in 12 minutes....
the setup seems solid except the plastic housing which if rather flimsy, as evidenced when it fell off the mounting plate...maybe a fall of 1 1/2 foot...the housing got big deep scrathes and seperated at the seam. they mention it is not waterproof, well you can surely believe that.
i will keep it as for the price it will have some uses, like fence pulling, lifting the motorcycle from a rafter/pulley to change tires etc...but for log pulling, moving something up to the flatbed well there are faster ways.

Black & Decker VEC1086BBD Smart Battery 6/4/2 Amp Battery Charger
The included instructions are easy to follow and the charger is ready to go right out of the box. Connect the terminals per the instructions for what you are charging; plug the charger into a standard wall outlet (check for fault light indicating an incorrect connection) then press the one and only button to toggle to the desired amp level (explained in the instructions).
The amp levels are easy to see so selecting the correct one is easy to do. This charger is also fully automatic and will properly charge the battery on it's own at it's own pace for best performance and battery safety. The charger will tell you when it's done charging or if anything is wrong (if that's the case it will display the fault light or will just shut down).
I really like the foolproof design and features (the cables store in the back of the charger) of this simple easy to use charger. I'm not a very handy guy and electricity does make me a little nervous, but using this charger has been a great experience and a joy to use. Whether pro or beginner if you need a battery charger but are a little intimidated by the experience try this one you'll love it!This unit works very well for topping off a battery that is low or maintaining the charge on a battery in storage. However, if the battery is fully discharged, the units automated protection feature will give a fault status and refuse to charge it until you use some other method to force a partial charge on the battery.

I charged a dead car battery using the VEC1086BBD. When used correctly this unit revived a battery that had been dead for a year after a 1.5 hour charge.READ THIS IS YOU'VE HAD PROBLEMS CHARGING A CAR BATTERY W/ VEC1086BBD:
(and the instructions didn't help)
-Once you have attached the leads to the battery with the proper polarity and plugged the charger into an AC source, the charger will make a humming noise, but it is NOT charging yet.
-Activate the unit by depressing the button (there's only one button) and repeat to cycle through the 6/4/2 amp settings. If it goes into fault
Press the button again repeatedly if needed until it gets out of fault mode. Press firmly and deliberately!
Additional button presses will cycle to your desired current setting (6A or 4A).
The GREEN LED must be lit or the device is not charging! This may all sound obvious but it was a REAL PAIN and a GIANT waste of time to figure this out.
Warning: **If you rapidly and repeatedly press this button you may cause the circuit breaker in your house to shut off power in your home. Not a big deal though. Just go reset the house breakers.
One more thing I noticed:
After you set to 6A/4A/2A, observe the unit for about 30 seconds until it has stabilized. Check on it periodically thereafter. This is because the unit drifts sometimes into fault mode--by itself.
Hope this helps.

When I first opened the box it looked like a toy, being very small. But I used it to recharge my 2 deep cycle batteries for my RV and it gets the job done just fine. There is some fan noise but that doesn't bother me. I would recommend this product and by the way the warranty was even longer than was stated on the Amazon page.Want Black & Decker VEC1086BBD Smart Battery 6/4/2 Amp Battery Charger Discount?
I stored one of my vehicles over the winter and needed a battery charger to juice the life back into it. At first I was looking at a jump starter but what I really need was a simple battery charger. This little guy did its job with no problems. If I did have one gripe about this, it was that it took about 12 hours for it to charge. The higher output/amp chargers can charge faster but I wasn't in a rush to get my car going. All I needed was to charge it overnight and its done. Theres no need to buy a replacement battery again! Unless its really old..Saturday, December 7, 2013
New BLUEANTWIRELESS BlueAnt Supertooth Buddy Bluetooth Handsfree Speakerphone Car Kit High Quality
- Quick clip-on for sun visor
- Hands-free solution can pair to 2 phones simultaneously
- Last call redial, reject incoming call
- Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery
- Voice recognition dialling (if phone supports)
I will never go back to an earpiece again.Excellent product
Easy set-up. I have a Blackberry and an IPhone and they both automatically connect with a distinct tone
Long battery lifePurchased 2 of the Buudy Supertooth Hands free devices. ! for my vehicle and 1 for my wife. They work very well. Are clear and transmit clearly. Easy to operate and almost completely avoid distraction. The only problem we have is our cell phones need to be manually connected every time the bluetooth is activated. Would highly recommend this for everyone, especially in states that require hands free cell phones.Reviewed many auto Bluetooth (BT) devices on websites and on Consumer Reports. BlueAnt was rated in the top 2 on each site because of send and receive sound quality. I would totally agree!!! Sound is clear on both ends at all levels and the receive volume can be turned up quite loud. It has some great features AND has better sound than my luxury auto.
Why purchased: for my wife and son that never answers their phone while driving.
Likes: Sound quality, volume, no feedback on receiving end, allows 2 phone connection, connects automatically when in range of the car, which is my only dislike. Also, this device is MUCH cheaper than other auto handsfree devices.
Dislikes: BT range is excellent. With car in the garage and when my wife is anywhere in the house she gets frustrated when she makes or receives a call because the BlueAnt connects the call just remember to turn off your phone's BT or the BlueAnt when you're at home
Because of everything mentioned above the product makes an EXCELLENT gift! I see myself purchasing many more for family.

I found a website called modified power wheels. I saw some examples of what some people were using on their Power Wheels (PW) and was not satisfied at all the stuff was way too big for a little power wheel. I searched and searched until I found this one. PERFECT modification for any Power Wheel and works GREAT! I installed it in my son's Fire Rescue Jeep and am extremely satisfied! Easy to install and very compact. I love it!Want Battery Indicator - Solar Panel or Golf Cart 12/24 volt Discount?
Easy to wire and it worked flawlessly for 2 weeks. It stopped giving an accurate reading for unknown reasons..Product is way overpriced for the shortlived performance . I was surprised when I received the indicator and saw how tiny it was. Hooked it up with a toggle switch that I purchased separately and it worked fine for a short while..I thought that my battery (a $650.00, 250ah, 12 volt agm solar batt) was faulty. Ran checks on my other batteries and got the same results and so concluded that the purchased indicator was faulty..Don't buy the product.The indicator has four connection points. They are marked + negative and C ignore the blank one. As the instructions state. Attach pos to pos and neg to neg. directly onto the battery. Then attach C to the positive connection on your accessory or whatever you're running.
