Hello, proud new owner here!

Thank you, Atraudes.

I couldn't understand why someone would cut out a gaping hole that large, except maybe in a fruitless attempt to find the sunroof motor. Seeing the size of the pull-down screen, I now understand. I may very well eventually seek one out.

Here's a related question: if the car was equipped with a rear screen, where would the media be played from? A DVD inserted into the CD player? How do I find out if I have DVD playing capabilities?

I appreciate your patience with all these silly questions
