Clydeside_Sheep Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Anyone got LCD screens in the back of their car to shut the kids up....occupy the children on long car journeys? Any tips on what to get? Been looking at removable 10" LCD screens with DVD players build in, of the generic type the Chinese build by the bucket load. Would like to be able to run progs off DVDs / SD card / android tablet even, ideally with all this being controlled by car passenger. The car can play DVDs and has an SD card slot, but fuck knows how to make that play on 3rd party screens? (Whatever happened to playing "I spy"? ) Thanks for any advice. Link to comment

Chewie37 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Depends on how much you want to spend? You can get a couple of clip on tablet style DVD players with speakers and wireless headphones on Amazon for around £140. A bit more money and you can Bluetooth everything to your DVD layer at the front, unless it's only DVD for your sat nav? And are you technical enough to install something yourself? 1 Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks to Dad and Chewie! Depends on how much you want to spend? You can get a couple of clip on tablet style DVD players with speakers and wireless headphones on Amazon for around £140. A bit more money and you can Bluetooth everything to your DVD layer at the front, unless it's only DVD for your sat nav? And are you technical enough to install something yourself? The amazon thing you mention sounds like the kinda thing I have been looking at. The Car dvd player can play anything and has a hack which would allow you to watch movies on it at 70 mph on the motorway (alarm bells! usually its meant not to work if you are moving). I certainly am not equipped to install anything myself, hence I was thinking of a heath robinson implementation with wires running everywhere etc. Probably the cheaper option is best, incase it gets stolen / weans break it / I break it etc. I was wondering if anyone would recommend a specific package or brand through experience?

Clydeside_Sheep Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Give them a bible to read and they'll soon drop off. They are too young to be able to read yet. Another barnstorming idea, some parent you would be. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Get them a portable games console, like a lynx or a game gear. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The Halfords version 'Nextbase' are grand and bring all the benefits SH mentions including being able to be used once you reach your destination and the kids finally realise not everyone on their domestic tele speaks English. Temporary mountings are just a fucking disaster tho. Sure modern Bluetoothy type equivalents would be better. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Could you not just get two kindle fires and a subscription to amazon prime. You can download films/cartoons onto them. Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That’s the cheap option that clips to headrests: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0053VPWC2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1521156780&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=in+car+entertainment+systems&dpPl=1&dpID=51LbSRV3fNL&ref=plSrch Link to comment
