For those of you who thought your MDX was a great touring car... it just got better. We just took about a 1,200 mile vacation in the MDX with our children. To entertain them, I flipped back the center beverage tray, and placed on it a Panasonic LA-85 Portable DVD player. It has a 7" screen, and is easily viewed from the 2nd row. The kids watched movies the whole way. No yelling, raised blood pressure, etc.
The unit fits perfect, and is powered from the power outlet in the center console. Also, for surround sound experience, we connected a cassette adapter to the headset outlet, and plugged it into the MDX. It was like being at the theater-no kidding!
For those of you who want the ultimate upgrade- a couple of pointers. First, the Panasonic unit requires a 12volt to 9 volt converter. A Panasonic tested and approved unit is available from a company called Extend. Also, to hold on the DVD player, I used a rubberband to hold on to the beverage tray latch.
