Has anyone figured out or thought about a way to hack video in to the screen? Seems like it should be possible if the DVD player is sending a standard composite or similar signal to the screen.

I have half heartedly looked for one. Most of what I find are restriction disablers for DVD playback while moving and outputs to add additional screens that display the DVD playback. The hunt continues.

i'm not sure you would want to do that when the cars screen resolution is way lower then your phone, you probably wouldn't see most of the information.

Yea I found those too but the price is crazy. I'm working on a headrest video system to keep the kids entertained in the back. Each monitor will be driven by a Raspberry Pi with OSMC so they can each watch something different. The problem is changing it while driving. You obviously can't see the back of the headrest from the front so it would be nice to have an extra input from each to select a movie from the database, hit play, switch over to the other, select and play and another hour and a half of peace! The kids are old enough to work it themselves so the passenger has to take care of it.

I've tried the Kodi app for android but it doesn't list the movies on the phone and is just a pain to use anyway. The other option is to just add a third monitor that can mirror the others and switch between the two.
