Title: Built in DVD screens in headrests
Post by: domrees on 19 July 2013, 21:29
Thinking about getting some of these to keep the kids happy

Got a drive down to st tropez end of October and they would be dead handy to maintain sanity

Daft question, ignore me

Just get another iPad.

Problem solved

Doh

Anyone know of a company that will build them in to the headrest?

Is it even possible?

It's definitely possible but it's not cheap

Yeah exactly. Not going to spend a grand when I can buy an iPad for much less

And take it with me when I sell the car!

You can get ones that just hook on for a lot less than an ipad on eBay.  But why not do it the old fashioned way and play I spy and such? :evil:

12 hours of I spy and there is only me and 2 kids under 7!

Even I don't have that much patience  :huh:

Sorry, missed the last bit!

Good point though, what would the side visibility be like in a 3 door?

Just buy a pair of portable ones for around £100 that strap to the headrests. You can take them with you to use where you are staying, use them in any car and you'll still have them when you sell the car.

Get a couple of headrest mounts for iPads or generic chinese android tablets. Load them with movies and games before you leave and fanny's your aunt.

Just make sure you remember headphones, otherwise they'll be fighting each other over who's movie is loudest and on that length of journey, it would drive me nuts  :grin: :grin:

How did you get away with ordering a 3 door when you have kids !?    :rolleyes:

Yeah I know! Main reason being most of the time it is just me in the car. I drop my eldest off to school most mornings. So don't really need rear doors that much

And the 3 door is better looking, doubt anyone would argue that.

And mrs Dom said categorically that you can't have a 5 door GTI.

5 door looks better in my opinion. it just seems to be proportioned better.

Definitely. A coupe of refurbed iPads with headphones will be a much more flexible option. Films, TV shows, music and games should keep the kids happy.

If I had a couple of kids under 7 I'd give them each a maths text book and tell them there will be a test at the end of the journey and if they don't score we'll enough there will be no trip to the beach! :laugh:

I'm just kidding... I wouldn't do that until they're at least 10. :whistle:

Or worse, they have to make their own way home.

Damn, why didn't I think of that?  Teaches them life skills and everything!  Good call. :grin:
