You can trust my review, bad or good is your choice and i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

Quick overview:
Pros - Cheaper than most models, supports SD and memory stick duo cards, choice of audio out sources, good video quality, seems sturdy, quite DVD playback, good dvd playback, audio/video input option.

Cons - Poor instructions, memory card slots prevent closing screen while cards are in, limited file/folder name length on memory cards, no playback memory for memory cards, no source memory for video playback (remembering if I used memory cards last), screen does not turn around far enough for me, lights not as bright as Pyle PLRD92, light buttons do not work separately, instructions do not help with menu/setup very well (it's not terribly hard to figure out if you have time to toy with pressing buttons)

There were I few things about this product that I was unable to determine from any of the extensive research I performed, but I knew that the basic functionalities met what I was looking for. I do like the dvd player and the picture is good. It is easy to install, even though I did have to make a few modifications in order to install it like I wanted. I ultimately decided on this item over the PYLE PLRD92(PYLE PLRD92 9" Flip Down Monitor and DVD player with Wireless FM Modulator/ IR Transmitter) mainly based off of the price at the time, and though I AM somewhat pleased with the TVIEW product, if I had the choice, I would go with the PYLE for many reasons. It was a good DVD player, which is why it received 4 stars, it's not a bad product... it's just not exactly what I wanted... Now on to the info:

INSTALL:
The instructions that came with the unit were horrible, they basically didn't help at all, but I was able to determine what wire were what from info I found on the net. One of the most helpful places was a forum call Acadiaforum.net.(you will have to join to see it, but here is an installation example [...]) A user there has detailed instructions on installing the PYLE, that were handy in making the TVIEW mount more sturdily to my Acadia. The mounting bracket with the TVIEW is slightly different than the PYLE's and was a bit more difficult to attach to the roof of the car. In my Acadia, I could easily remove the dome light between the sunroof and moonroof and have a perfect place for installing a DVD player. Since there is about a 2" space between the head liner of the car and the top of the car (actually a cross beam) I needed a piece of a 2" x 4" I had lying around as a spacer. I also had to purchase 4 metal/machine screws and drill 4 holes in the cross bar mentioned above to attach the metal mounting plate. After I did this, I noticed that the wires run out the back of the DVD player, this may not be a big issue for everyone, but I wanted the wires hidden. So, I drilled 2 holes in the metal backing that hides the wires on the dvd player (the opposite side from where the screen snaps in place and lights are seen). I used the rubber grommets on the newly drilled holes to prevent the wires from being cut over time. In my Acadia, there are 2 power wires, one has a constant power (used for turning the lights on when the car is off) and power when the doors open (this one is used to turn on the lights when the doors are opened). I used the later to hook up to the lights on the DVD player so they would work as the normal dome lights would. I used the constant power so that the DVD player could be run while the car was off if necessary. The Acadia has a safety feature that kills the power to this feed after 10 minutes to prevent battery drain, if something is drawing current, so I thought this would be perfect. However, I ran into an issue with the DVD player drawing just enough power while it was off to drain the battery slightly, but not drawing enough power to register on the computer of the Acadia to trigger the battery save feature. This resulted in a dead battery over the weekend. To get around this, I installed a rocker switch from an old dead power supply I had, and it works great for keeping my battery from dying. I have read different ways around this, 1) you can install a resistor to "trick" the computer into thinking there is a larger current being drawn while it's off or 2) you can ran power directly from the battery (I've read this prevents the battery drain for some reason, but can't remember why).

PERFORMANCE:

Memory Card playback...
This Does work pretty well, the resolution, I think, is 640x323, and it plays MP4s the best, but also supports some AVIs. The picture quality will largely depend on the quality of the MP4 etc, but is quite good for what I expected.

The biggest reason I was looking at this player and the PYLE mentioned earlier was the ability to play videos from a memory card. I had a few SD, micro SD (w/adapter), mini SD(w/adapter), and Memory stick pro duo (with Duo adapters) cards that I could switch out more easily than dvds (I thought). This player DOES NOT support SDHC cards, but I had a 8GB MS Pro Duo (magic gate) with a Duo Adapter that worked perfectly. Video playback from the cards works fine, and there are tons of options on the player to zoom in (if the video doesn't fill the screen) or to adjust the picture. However, One of the biggest things I do not like about the player is how it handles memory cards. The first thing I noticed was the SD card will stick out of the side of the screen half way, preventing you from closing the screen with the card inside. I kind of expected it to work like many laptops do, with there being a depression switch that requires to to push the card in to hear a click and have it eject. The Sony Memory stick card stuck out even further, I was very disappointed, but ate my disappointment because the videos played fine, you can even fast forward and rewind like normal (more than I can say for Windows Media Center 7 and MP4s... but I won't go there). The next thing I noticed that I did not like was the navigation to select videos to play. First of all, each time you stop playing the video from the card, it will start from the beginning and every time you start the player, you have to change the source to the card slot (not a HUGE deal, but why couldn't it remember what was last used?). One of the worst things about it is that the file or folder names (it does support folders by the way) are limited to 6 - 7 characters, barely enough to give a good description for our 3 year old to know which video she wants to watch. Yes, i said 3 year old, she is able to read, and I am not talking about memorizing words, I'm talking about sounding words out and reading ANYTHING... Not the point though, there is barely enough to tell which video you are selecting. I may have to get creative and number the videos and give her a list of what number is what video. Well, that is my biggest complaint about the video playback from memory card.

DVD Playback...
The DVD playback works quite well, and we use this as often as we can. I haven't tried burning MP4s to DVD, but have burned DVDs in its native format, and everything works very well. The thing I like best about this is that the DVD is the first thing that is checked when the player is turned on. If there is a DVD in and you turn the player on, it will read the disc and start playing. It also remembers your position, even if the power is cut off to the player. I don't have much else to say about DVD playback other than - A-OK!!

Sound...
Ok, the speakers built into the DVD player are plenty loud (if they are not, it is likely the video you are playing...) but my wife and I did not like the fact that they project to the front of the Acadia as much as they did to the back, so we opted to do the FM transmitter as much as possible. Recently we went on an 8 hour (one way) trip using the FM transmitter, and ran into few issues. There were a few times we'd have to pause the video and switch the FM sources, due to interference, but over all it was pretty decent. When there is no interference, the sound is excellent, when there is the sound is very grating... kind of metalicy sounding. I remember reading where someone increased the length of the FM transmitter wire on the player(I think it was the little green wire in the bunch) to increase signal strength and prevent interference, but I can't find that info at this time. Having said that, yesterday we took a 30 minute trip and had interference the whole way, so it all depends on if the frequencies are being used as to whether or not you will appreciate the FM transmitter feature. I plan on hooking up the analog audio someday to prevent this issue in the future. The IR headphone option does show on the menu, so i know it exists on the player, but we did not purchase any and have not used this feature to date.

Final few odds and ends:

Ok, I know this is probably NOT a big issue for most, but the screen does NOT turn 180� from facing forward. The screen will face the left and right, but will not face the rearview mirror when installed. This is one of the many reason's i would like to have had the Pyle, the screen would turn to face the front. I didn't want this to watch anything, but to help start a video, or pause a video if the remote is dropped or something. We can do it now, but it is a lot more difficult that it would be if the screen would turn even another 10� or so. But it is not clear ANYWHERE that I read, so I thought I would inform you, the screen IS a 180� screen, but it's from left to right, the screen will not face the windshield when installed (probably for safety...).

The lights on the player are not very bright at all, and are the cylindrical type of light bulbs. You also will have to remove the DVD player and remove the metal backing in order to replace the bulbs if they ever burn out. The Pyle player had LEDs and are MUCH brighter from what I've seen... One of the other things I tried to determine was whether or not the 2 lights worked independently. I saw on some players there was one light button... This one and the Pyle player had 2, though I cannot speak for the Pyle, I know with this one the lights work together. You can push either button and both lights turn on/off...

Over all, this is a good DVD player with the option to use Memory cards in dire need, but I am somewhat disappointed based on my expectations from what I read from others.

I hope this helps!!
