Acura TL "Ghetto" rear DVD entertainment solution

OK... this is probably temporary but works quite well and doesn't involve any straps or messy wires or whatever and, er, is quite quite cheap to do!

So I took my dynex 9" portable DVD player:


plastered black velcro all over the bottom of it:


and then I laid down a few blocks of velcro along the top edge of
the middle console:


...then I planted the portable DVD player onto the velcro:


The screen opens up and is also supported quite well with the 2 front seats
on each side


...and there you have it.. .. thanks to the magnificient leg room in the
TL's rear, my passengers can now enjoy DVD entertainment.

It's quick and simple. Serves its purpose.

Not everybody wants to spend tonnes of time and money on integration and install. As Adon pointed out, it'll keep the people in the back seats occupied. Besides, porn is good on any system, LOL.

I used to do the same thing in my old ford windstar.

Except I used my laptop and lodged it between the front two seats so it sits on the armrest. I sat in the middle row and watched movies. =)

Can you really afford all the ricey (or in your opinion "tasteful") mod's on your mom's 1.7EL? Why don't you buy your own car with your own money before you look down on other people's cars. O wait, you can't because your 20 and you are powered by mommy.
