We've had this unit for about a month now and have decided to sell it and get something else. While the unit has lots of pros (I'll list below) it has one fatal flaw. That flaw is that each time the units lose power, the DVD starts over at the beginning, there is no memory of the last point played. For us this makes the unit nearly useless. Take a trip and stop for lunch, the DVD restarts; stop to pump gas, the dvd restarts; take a bathroom break, the DVD restarts. Ugh.

On the up side:
1) Ability to view same DVD or two different ones is great
2) Easy to set-up, headrest mount works pretty well
3) Picture quality is decent
4) Sound is good
5) Single power outlet needed to power both

Negatives:
1) No possiblity to connect a battery
2) Restart mentioned above
3) No built in IR or FM headphone capability

We purchased this from Target for our second car, we had our first one about a month and the DVDs simply stopped loading. We went back and exchanged it for a second one (thank goodness for the 90-day exchange policy). Now, less than 2 months later our second one has the EXACT same problem...it does not load DVDs. I purchased this because I believed RCA to be a good name brand and a good product, however I have been sorely disappointed.
Avoid this product at all coats or make sure you have an extended warranty when you buy it as IT WILL BREAK!!!!

Bought it for a 5 hour trip. It randomly stopped reading the DVDs. Had to exchange brand new DVD and that didn't fix the problem. That is what you get from this cheap brand. Returned it.

We purchased this dvd player and installed it while our car was parked in a relative's driveway and this is where we should have had our grandchild sit to watch the movie. Unfortunately, we were 5 hours from home in Iowa and we needed to get back to our house. As soon as we pulled out onto the street to head home the dvd player stopped working. We installed a new dvd and again after a few minutes the dvd player stopped working again. It seem that every time we would hit a minor bump in the road (on hard surface pavement including the I-88 and I-80 interstate system) the dvd player would stop working and we would have to restart the dvd from the beginning(it never resumed from where it left off). Fortunately for us, our grandchild is only 15 months old and he didn't notice that we had to keep re-starting the dvd and he was watching the same beginning over and over again for miles. After making sure that the cables, straps, etc. were totally secure and tight, we stopped at a store and bought a new dvd even though the ones we had were only four years old. Again, same results, the dvd player stopped reading the dvd whenever we hit a minor bump in the road. I guess this unit only works if the car is standing still so needless to say we had a very long trip home. RCA used to stand for quality but I guess those days are long past. Please do not buy this dvd player as it is totally useless.

We purchased this DVD System for our 21 hour trip to California, it lasted for the entire trip out, but not really to go back home anymore.
The System simply quit working and my children had to hold the main unit in their laps, at an angle for it to "sometimes" work. We then exchanged it for a new model since we had lost the receipt in all the commotion of our trip. The new one did the exact same thing after only using it for one day.
I contacted RCA in the hope of receiving my money back, and am hoping now to get a positive answer from them.
This is very frustrating as we have an overhead unit in our Chrysler, which in fact, also stopped working....

Avoid this product if in any way possible!

I literally just bought this from Target about an hour ago because it was on a great sale. I haven't even plugged the unit in yet, but I don't need to. The first big problem for me is that there is no wall plug included in the package. I called Target Tech support and they said I would have to go to Radioshack and ask them to help me. What?! I've never seen a DVD player that doesn't have a wall charger. Of course, after continuing to read through the user's manual I noticed that nothing was mentioned about battery life. Ah, it all makes since now. It doesn't need a wall charger because it doesn't have a battery. I've truly never seen a "travel" DVD player that doesn't have a battery. We spend a lot of time bouncing around from hotel to hotel and we need a unit that truly will "travel." If you have the same needs then stay away from this product!
