If there's one type of car accessories that's getting quite popular these days, it has got to be the trusty headrest DVD player. Just take one look around you and you'll see that a relatively large number of campers, vans, 4WDs, and cars have this nifty entertainment device in them. Well, this isn't really surprising. After all, this type of DVD player helps you pass the time and keep your boredom at bay, especially when spending long hours on the road.
But whether you're a current owner or you are planning to purchase a in car entertainment system for your vehicle, there are safety reminders you must always take into consideration. As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure. By taking the necessary precautionary measures, you can prevent the device from being damaged or stolen. Read on and find out what these safety reminders are.
Safety Reminder No 1. In movies, you'll often see the protagonist hitting a device to make it work. But in real life, this is something that you mustn't do. If the headrest DVD player is acting up or isn't functioning as before, don't bash it in or hit it with a hard object because it will only make the problem worse. Instead, you should check the owner's manual. Troubleshooting tips are usually included in the manual to help owners fix minor problems with the device.
Safety Reminder No 2. In case the device is still not working as it should after you have consulted the owner's manual, don't try to disassemble the car multimedia system and fix it on your own. Otherwise, it could lead to more problems. Also, if the product is still under warranty, the warranty could be voided. What you need to do is call the seller and seek for advice. If the DVD player is still under warranty, they will fix it for you.
Safety Reminder No 3. When the headrest DVD player is not in use, make sure to remove any CD, DVD, VCD, or SD card from the device, especially during the summer months when it can get very hot inside your vehicle. The discs could melt and get stuck to the device, which is something that you definitely don't want to happen. So if you're not planning to use the DVD player for an extended period of time, don't forget to remove any disc from the device.
Safety Reminder No 4. Because car entertainment systems are getting quite popular these days, incidents where they are stolen from vehicles are not unheard of. Therefore, to ensure the safety and security of your devices, always make sure to lock your car up. Also, if your headrest DVD player is a pillow type and it comes with flaps you can zip up, zip them up so the device will remain inconspicuous and, therefore, won't attract the attention of burglars.
Headrest DVD players are built into or attached to the back of your vehicle’s headrests, allowing passengers—especially those in the back seats—to watch movies or videos while on the go. They function like standard DVD players but are designed for mobility and comfort. Some models even include USB or SD card slots, Bluetooth, and wireless headphones for a complete car entertainment systems experience.
Yes, many headrest DVD players can share screens. Some models connect through AV cables or wireless transmitters, letting both screens display the same movie. Others can operate independently, so each passenger can enjoy their own content. It’s a great feature that enhances your in car entertainment system, giving everyone in the vehicle a more enjoyable trip.
Connecting your phone to your car multimedia system is simple and depends on your setup. Most modern systems support Bluetooth pairing, letting you stream music, play videos, or mirror your screen for navigation. Alternatively, you can connect via USB or auxiliary cable for more stable playback and charging. Always check your system’s manual for supported connection options.
To clean in car entertainment screens safely, turn off the display first. Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with a screen-safe cleaner or distilled water. Avoid using paper towels, alcohol, or ammonia-based products as they can damage the coating. Gently wipe in circular motions to remove dust and fingerprints without leaving scratches.
