like most people i want a tv/monitor in my car...

I want a good sized monitor up front, possibly in place of my radio now. Only problem is that i cant find a monitor that also has a cd player with it. I don't feel like buying a cd changer. Anyways, i also want 2 small monitors put on the back of the headrests. A total of 3 monitors i want but i don't know the basics about how to start here. Is a tv antenna a lot more to add? plus, won't only certain monitors support a tv antenna? The two i want in the back are basically for looks so i don't need anything expensive. But the one up front i want to be able to hook up my PS2 and a tv, can i get all three monitors to all show the same video at the same time? Is there a monitor that i can put up front and still be able to keep the unit i have now?

HELP.

To get a monitor with a cd player in it you are going to have to spend no less than $1200 pioner sell them starting at that, but you can mount a pedistal Monitor anywhere. yes you can have all three monitors showing at the same time you will need a splitter posably even a boster. monitors for the headrest should start at about $100 dollars and up.
for you to put a play station in all you have to do is put a power inverter in the car plug it in just like at home. i think it really sucks to use a PS2 in car not very user freindly at all i hade it for about a month then just purchased a DVD player. The TV antenta you will have to have a tunner box and window mount antenna the tuners are about 125 and antenna start at about 30. but if you look araound you can find some dvd players with tuners already in them. i hope this helps a little bit

so would it be cheaper to out in a cd changer in the trunk?
My main concern is money. What would be the price of the cd changer?
What would be the price of the up front monitor that is dvd/tv capable? what would be the price of the two monitors in the back? about 300 right? how much for the antennas? What other things would i need to purchase?

sorry, a lot of questions there. please help.

VIDEO IS NOT CHEAP!! so anything you do is going to expensive no way araound it if you want an indash monitor about qas cheep as you are going to get and get good is 600 for a 7 inch MA Audio and then the cd changer that goes with it is about 179 and then you are going to need a dvd player or you PS2, you should be able to pick up monitors for the back about 140 each for 5.6 screens.

yep, the kinda video stuff you want will be easily $1000+ ........ and it sounds like you will have to have it professionally installed, since you sound like you know next to nothing about it.
