Looking for a system to entertain your kids while on a long road trip to the countryside?  Yeah, I know they can always bring their PSPs and Nintendo DS Lites but playing video games while on the road might make them feel dizzy at some point.  A good movie would be a great alternative and if you’re on the look out for a nifty DVD player that you can easily install on your car’s rear seat head rest, the Advent Quick Connect could be a good choice.

The Advent Quick Connect headrest is a DVD player packed with two “seatback mounting pods.”  It features 7-inch monitors which can display your kids’ favorite movies at 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios.  Wait, did we just say two seatback mounting pods with two 7-inch monitors?  But what if your kids would want to watch the same movie at the same time?  The Advent Quick Connect system will take care of that with its dual or single DVD system, allowing your kids to watch two different movies or one movie at the same time from each of the monitors.

Is it a pain to install?  Audiovox president says definitely not, car dealers can quickly offer a fleet of their vehicles with pre-installed Advent Quick Connect System without worrying about alterations in case a customer doesn’t want to have the system when they buy a car from the dealers.  The Advent Quick Connect can be easily detached leaving the original condition of the car’s seatback intact.

In addition, the Advent Quick Connect system includes wired headphones and two seat-top pods with covers that can either be black, gray or tan depending on the color of the cars where they are installed.  Users can also opt to have additional wireless, fold-flat headphones and an FM modulator which can be wired or wireless.

As the Advent Quick Connect system is geared for dealership distribution, prices may vary from one car dealer to another.
