They are the best option if you don’t want to invest in separate DVD players like the headrest one. They are great options for SUV and minivans. Sometimes you have the offer where it comes pre-installed in the car whereas the other option is to get it installed later on.

You will not necessarily need to change the head unit although an auxiliary unit is required if you want it to work with the sound system of the car. If you are more of a headphones person then it will not be an issue for you.
