Ugh, the factory DVD is such a bad value guys. I got this set for sale at Best Buy for 99 bucks. I could replace it 14 times if I had to and still be ahead of the game versus the factory option. Sure it's not as neat looking but who are you trying to impress??? Your kids sure don't care!

That doesn't look too bad, but you are forgetting the wifey factor. That would not fly for some of us, and also, do you think a 2 year old could resist grabbing those wires? lol

What's the wifey factor? Mine likes 'em just fine. Somewhat surprisingly my 3 and 5 year olds do not touch them. My 3 y.o. boy used to kick his when it was mounted slightly lower in our previous SUV, but he's gotten over that and anyway he could just as easily kick the factory ones.

This.

And this is not the Wifey factor speaking in my case...it's me.

Factory Blu-Ray player might not be the greatest value, but I'm personally sick and tired of having "bolt on" accessories (Navigation, DVD screens) that are not factory installed and having wires all over the place, not integrated into the oem sound system etc.

You can't do that, however if my Durango was arriving by rail the first thing I would be doing is running to the auto parts store and picking up a clay bar kit

That rail dust finds it's way onto the paint of these vehicles and the clay bar will take it right off! Rail dust was all over my white Charger when we got it, it even made it into the door jambs. lol

You guy's need top stop using old warn out ways of claying your toy's.

I (since I am a detail specialist) have been using this for two years now. I was one of the first on the east coast with and using them. Contrary to what some detail shops and suppliers might tell you, you DO NOT need any special detailing spray to use this, you can use simple water from the hose.

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/prod...505380255.html

They are selling for $40-75 each out here......well you see what they are selling for there.

EDIT**** Plus you can do over 150 cars with this and I just ordered 2 more shipped for $23.17. Now that's a deal

Philips. And as I was looking at the picture I realized, duh, I should've just tucked them behind the plastic seat backs. Went out to the garage and did it. Here's the revised pic. Looks almost stock now. Cables are tucked neatly from view and then they go over into the center console where the 12V plug is. The console cover shuts just fine with the cables going in.
