Unless the car you bought came with one installed, you may be thinking about installing a TV screen. Whether for entertainment or practical purposes, this addition is easier than you might think, and it has plenty of benefits to boot. The guide below explains the different types of car TV monitors available and why you should contact an installer.

What You Should Know About Installing a Car TV Monitor

Where Can They Be Installed?

If you’re planning to just use the system for entertaining your kids, a pull-down DVD player or headrest monitor may be the best choice—it can provide hours of engagement for backseat passengers without disturbing the driver. Meanwhile, in-dash monitors are more versatile and can be used for navigation, music, and more.

Why Should You Install One?

If your family vacations usually involve driving, you know how tense road trips can get. The stress of focusing on the road while trying to keep everyone happy can be difficult, making it harder to enjoy your vacation when you arrive at your destination. A pull-down video player or headrest monitor takes the tension out of trips and keeps your kids happily occupied. You can even have multiple car TV monitors installed so that children with different tastes can enjoy themselves.

A dashboard monitor system is more driver-focused, as you can connect it to your phone, use it to navigate, control your music, and even see what you’re backing up toward if the system is paired with a rearview camera. If you work with a professional sound system company, you can even rig your car with a dual-zone system and enjoy music up front while your kids enjoy their movies in the back.
