Best Portable DVD player to keep in the G37?
So this is new to me since I want to be able to play DVD's on the NAV screen using the AUX input. Does anyone know if the sedan guys have been able to "fit" a portable DVD player someplace in front and what kind of company/make it was?
If not, anyone else here interested in looking into incorporating a DVD player somewhere around the front eg under the passenger seat, in the dash etc.
I am totally awed by the fact that you can even hook up a portable DVD player at all. That's for all models standard (NAV and non-NAV).
EDIT: Also, does AUX feature only work if the car is in Park when it comes to DVDs.

So if I read you right BostonMerlin, you are saying the Ipod is a good choice for compact fit but still doesn't avoid the play while Park issue and will also require converting home DVD's into the iPod format.

Let me do a search for that, or better yet, anyone know if that seems like an easy thing to do?

Thanks guys for the answers. I would emphasize Canuck's caution as well since compromising safety is a no no. The reason I would be interested in such a hack as discussed in Sting0r's post is for kids traveling in the car as well. It's either the front or the rear that will "need" a DVD entertainment alternative.

My daughter is only 5 months old, so she isn't into watching TV yet.......but I can only imagine how priceless these entertainments systems are to those that have kids a little older. I am sure it keeps the kids quiet on trips and are worth every penny.
