Buying new car without the shitty overhead 2003 era DVD system

I'm not paying extra for crap that is completely outdated and for which i have ZERO DVDs laying around. why do they still offer this crap as an option on new cars? who's the target market?
what are the cool tech guys doing for their new cars for kids? Tablets and some type of mount to hold them in place behind the headrests?
are all tablets shitty these days? fire 10 maybe? its like $100 on amazon right now. ipads?
the kids have phones but the screens are so tiny..
is there anything that wont look super ghetto?
i just want to be able to run plex or some other streaming app on them so they can download tv series or movies from my server for trips.
what does the tech board do? how does this look like?

We flip our dvd screen down and literally strap an iPad to it 
I know you can format your movies to whatever files the player will read and use a jump drive. I tried a couple of times but eventually gave up since my family was in the car waiting on me so we could go to Disney World.

They still make those?
I quite literally just threw away all of my DVDs/blurays like 2 weeks ago. I'd rather pay to rent/buy a movie again than to keep up with a collection.

Fire tablets that they can hold in their hands. Wireless headphones.

I connected a Chromecast to ours when we had a van but that was several years ago.

iPad and a headrest mount that we remove when we get out. Most of the time he just holds the iPad, and wireless headphones are a tremendous help.
Kids iPad has held up for over 6 years now. It’s been swimming a few times and covered in just about every sauce/food imaginable.

My SUV has flip down screens but it also has HDMI input and wifi so I plug in a fire TV stick and stream everything. Makes road trips a lot better

Our Odyssey doesn't have HDMI but it has RCA in the third row. Bought an RCA to HDMI converter and run an HDMI cord up to our seats and we run our phone/iPad thru the car TV. works great

I've seen in car Plex installations. I would love to have one myself. The problem for me is I would want it to sync over wifi when at home. I don't have the know how to make a system that robust.

I ran HDMI to mine and connected an Apple TV
My car has WiFi so it’s easy to airplay to it from my iPad
