DVD players and screens are very straightforward to fit, but beware any 2nd hand TV tuners, as they are probably analogue and won`t work !!

Unless you are getting the BMW stuff for nothing, wouldn`t bother with it, as can be complex to integrate into another vehicle due to the number of modules and specialist plugs and sockets needed, and the aftermarket stuff is very cheap nowadays, and fits without problems.

Questions you need to ask yourself

- Is this a standalone system from the main stereo, or integrated with it?

- What do I want to watch / play? DVD? Games console? (TV on the move is poor quality)

- Where do I want to watch it? Front / Back / Roof

- How many monitors am I wanting to show it on?

- Do you want different screens to show different things? - ( WARNING ! Can get expensive !! )

- How do I want to listen to it? Headphones? Stereo?

- What budget do I have to play with?
