    The two LCD monitors installed in this minivan are both connected to a single DVD player mounted underneath the passenger seat.

    Smaller and more economical television components are now becoming available for installation into the family van. On this show, we install a DVD player, two LCD panels and a wireless headset system into a Mazda van. We begin by installing a pull down LCD panel near the front of the van. A smaller LCD is installed near the rear seat area. The wires are routed and connected so that a DVD player can be installed to provide sound and picture to the LCDs. A small radio unit is also installed so that the DVD sound can be played through the van radio. Once assembled, the system is road tested to make sure it works.
