re: Buying new car without the shitty overhead 2003 era DVD system

I’ve used old iPads and a kindle fire tablet. You can download some prime movies to them for free. It has like a 24 or 48 hour window to watch it once it is started. I think you can watch multiple times during that window as well. Worked great for a few drives to the beach and back home. Sometimes I would let them tether to my phones for WiFi and play games or stream shows. Our van has an empty slot for a DVD screen but when we bought it 7 years ago I googled for the model and it was already discontinued for a 3 year old vehicle. At least there is a plastic cover over the spot.
