Dvd player

[Bgctrading]

Do not very many of these trucks come with dvd players in the head rests?I have even looked at several denalis

[LongrangeLauber]

Cheaper to buy not built in, and if they are it is a single unit on the ceiling

[Bgctrading]

When did they stop doing the headrest ones?

[LongrangeLauber]

I think when they started producing the k2 trucks. I think the gmt900 trucks had them in the headrest, I'm not 100% sure though

[SouthpawHD]

Are they still making DVDs?

Buy 2 iPads, it's probably cheaper.

Rear seat entertainment is still an option

Edit: I just checked the Build & Price site and this is what it shows:

 

There are now (2016) two factory options:

Single 9" screen in the ceiling with a BluRay player - $1500

Dual 7" screens in the Headrests with DVD - $2100

 

GM also sells the headrest DVD players on their accessory site - $2000.

 

The headrest set appears to be plug-and-play with everything you need included:

• Dual independent 7" monitors located in the headrest
• Cable kit
• Remote control
• 2-wireless inferred headphones
• Vehicle wire harness jumper
• Control box
• Owners manual
• 6-AAA batteries for headphones and remote

$1500... $2000... HAHAHA no chance in hell. What is GM smoking these days? Those prices might have flown in like 2005 but this is 2015 where electronics are disposable.

 

I just got an 8" 4g LG tablet for free from AT&T. I just have to keep it on my mobile data plan for 2 years at $10/month. Add Netflix and you are at like $19 month.

 

$1500 ÷ $19 = Almost 79 months or 6.5 YEARS before the Blu-ray player becomes cheaper. And that doesn't count the cost of buying new physical media because my $19/month comes with streaming media.

 

GM is drunk.

What's the best built in aftermarket solution

[GMCguy78]

No way I would ever pay 2k for this, especially with all the media options available today

Getting a built in rear seat entertainment system is a must for my wife so I'm looking into aftermarket systems since the truck I end up with didn't have it. Not many trucks in my area had them installed.

 

Count me as interested in built in in options.

I just pulled the trigger on a 2016 high country it is pretty loaded except for entertainment system. I am going to start some research

I looked into all of this. The salesman told me to go buy 2 ipads instead. So I did. 2 ipad minis which are about the same size as a headrest dvd screen cost me about $750 with military spec cases in case the kids drop them. Cases came with straps that let them hang on the head rest. Another $30 for head phones and they get free games and we down load movies for them. Plus they can take them in any vehicle or hotel room or whatever. Much better than the $1500 for aftermarket headrests that you will not get any return on when you sell the truck. I was set on getting dvd players but very glad I didnt.

I ordered it for my truck and I will order it again (the flip down blueray) with my next truck. Kids are 5 and 7 and will probably be having it till they are at least 10+. While it is true some ipads will be cheaper and all that, but for me it is the durability and it being intergrated. Don't have to worry about cables charging etc. Kids jump in the truck flip the screen down and then jump in their carseats. Get buckled and put the headphones on.

 

Also depending on how you look at it, my 15 denali was almost 60k msrp loaded and I spent under 51k (plus tax) so nobody really actually pays 2k for it. I also believe I will get some resale back with the blueray player.

 

I highly recommend it for younger kids, but doubt you will find one on the lot unless you are ordering.
