I have a 2001 Chrysler Concorde LXi, I have a Kenwood MP3 head unit installed. I have 3 7.2" Pyramid LCDs w/ the headrest brackets that I am getting ready to install. I need some info.
Have anyone used these screens before and had any problems with them? What is a good video amplifier to use?
I would like to know what would be a good DVD player to use with them? A couple of the ones I looked 2 have 2 video outs and are powered with a cigarette lighter adapter.
I need to get a dash bradket like the cellphone bracket to mount one in the front?
I am planning on using the cigarette lighter for power b/c I have two already and these screens will not be permanent installs, would it be a benefit to hard wire them or use the cigarette lighter. I would appreciate any help that I receive and I would post pics after the install is complete.
Is there a simple way to acheive stealthyness w/o destoying the leather.

Since this last post I have been reading this forum and trying to get an understanding, and an answer to my questions. I plan to mount one of those screens in the dash with a Panavise Mount. I purchased a XO video Amp and A Pyle PLDVD97N mobile DVD player. I haven't seen anyone touch the subject of HU remote power. Now my question is about power for the units. I am planning on using the HU remote to power the Video Amp since it needs a 12v feed and it does not have a swich to power it ON/OFF, does anyone see a problem with that. I plan to run all three power leads of the screens to the DVD remote power. It has a fused remote lead that comes along with that. I also plan on putting a switch in line with the two rear monitors for punishment for the kids, if they begin to act up the will see no TV.........
Questions:
Is this idea feasible with the DVD powered from the battery or the fuse box?
If I put a switch inline with the DVD player would it cause a problem with power on/off and memory functions, it is a two wire hookup with a choke inline?
Anyhelp woul be appreciated, this is my first big install and I plan on making this a hobby, eventually.

I have 3 LCD monitors, a video Amp, and a DVD player. After reading this https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=15876&PN=5 , and various other posts, I am going to conclude that it is safe to wire my system as follows:
10 amp in-line fuse and constant +12V to 87, 5 amp in-line fuse and remote lead from HU to 86, 85 to ground, and 30 to all other accesories. The Video Amp has an inline fuse already so should I put an inline fuse to the other four items. Two of the screens will employ an additional toggle switch for on/off functionallity (when u riding with the kids and they acting up).

I am a newbie in the mobile video world. I have done HU and basic AMP and speaker hookups before, but this is my first video install and I need some help 
. After reading this https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=15876&PN=5 and many other posts I have come to the conclusion that. In order to have all your accessories receive power with ignition is to connect a SPDT relay as follows:
85 to ground, 87 to a 10 Amp fuse plus (non)constanst +12V source (is this a constant or nonconstand hookup), 86 to a 5 Amp fuse and remote lead from the HU, and 30 to all other low power accesories.
Now I have a Video Amp (2 wire connect), 3 LCDs (2 wire connect), and a DVD Player (2 wire connect). The DVD player itself has a fused remote power lead and the Video Amp has a Fused power lead. So if I connect the Video Amp and the DVD Player to the relay and Add a fuse the DVD power lead that should be OK. If I wanted to use the fused 12V remote lead from the DVD player to power the LCDs would that create unwanted problems? Two of the LCD will consist of an extra switch so that I can remove power from them in the front seat w/o turning off the front LCD. How does that hookup sound?
Any Help would be appreciated

Also would like to ask if I tap 12v power from the accessory fuse in the fuse box would that be OK, Leased vehicle don't wanna tear up too much stuff.
