Just wondering how it affects your head room or vision in the rear view mirror. How do you like it so far and would you rather not have it now?

I'm thinking of installing one myself when I return state side, but haven't heard of anyone yet that has one from the factory. I have done some research on the different type's available though.
3 major types are

ones that install in the front dash board, and the screen pulls out, ones that mount to the ceiling, one's that the base attaches to the back of the front seat head rest.
Of course you can also find a type that attaches or replaces the sun visor, and even one that the screen is in the rear view mirror, but I think that is just an accident waiting to happen.

Using google search, you can type "overhead dvd system" and start your search.
 
I have the DVD option in my 04, and used it recently on a trip down the east cost and back to Florida. It works well, and the included remote makes it easy to sort through DVD menus. Even though I think it was an expensive option, I went with it because it was the only 4Runner on the dealers lot at the time in the color I wanted with the available third row seat.

As far as the headroom and all goes, the DVD screen does not seem to noticably affect it nor does it prevent my from seeing through the rearview mirror. Also, the included wireless headphones are good if your passengers are watching a movie you don't want to listen to; you can still listen to the stereo while they watch a movie.
 
Could you post a picture of the screen and the DVD player?

Your the first person that I know of that actually has it, I was starting to think that it didn't really exsist.

I would like to have that option in mine.
 
This is a photo of the Toyota system... is the player integrated overhead or does it stash elsewhere? I wonder... Does it replace the area where the current rear-seat audio unit is mounted now?
Most shops advised me against installing an aftermarket dropdown, because of the moonroof -- which is why I ended up w/ the seat back install... (not to mention the cost factor)

Where is the player located?
In that glovebox area?

It doesn't sound like too many people have purchased this option, I know I would have if I could have found a Runner with it installed.
