What's it like driving at night with that Pyle system? It looks like you would be seeing the screen from the side while driving.

You can't see it at all..it is just the angle of the pic that makes it look that way...Even when it is on at night time you can't really tell that it is on. There is also 3 ways you can listen to it, with the wireless headphones, through the radio speakers and even through the DVD unit itself

Anyone with a CC with sunroof install an overhead unit? Very curious to see pics. Been thinking about installing one, but not sure if there's going to be enough room to install one. Only options could be the portable screens or headrest units.

My 12.1 inch overhead unit is installed with the facory sunroof. When you pull the headliner down you will see there is a brace to attach the DVD unit to below the area the glass slides back into, so it's no problem. I should have taken pics of mine during the install process, but did not think to do it. Still I assure you there is no problem using an overhead system with the sunroof. I will try to get a pic snapped with my phone and post it.

Looks great. Can't really see from the angle, but looks like the dvd unit is about an 1" from the back of the sunroof. This will be my winter project. Thanks for the photos.

I can't recall the exact amount, but when you pull down the headliner you will see the brace and it will sort of dictate the placement (which will vary based on where the mounting holes of the specific screen unit you choose are located).

Well, after much thought and research, I went with the Alpine PKG-RSE2. I have to say, awesome picture! I had it installed and it looks like it was factory installed, as the unit does not look out of place. I will post some pictures tomorrow.
