Anyone who lives in a moderately large city or has seen just about any episode of Cribs is probably familiar with the LCD-infused sun visor, but the Sun Visor Theater ups the ante on the usual rendition by including the
multimedia playback utilities right alongside the LCD. This aftermarket visor is sure to look completely awkward installed all by its lonesome on just the passenger's side, but packs a seven-inch widescreen display, built-in DVD / CD /MP3 player,
TV tuner, and even includes an SD slot and USB port for additional expansion options. Moreover, you'll get integrated controls and a wireless remote, and while we're not sure if this thing includes a built-in speaker, we do spot a couple of headphone jacks just in case. So if you're looking for an admittedly tacky way to add a bit of in-car
entertainment before your next
long haul, and aren't swayed by the fact that a one-year warranty costs an additional $45, the Sun Visor Theater is available now for $299.95.

Hey, I've been reading through the basics of after market products (I found this site, http://www.aftermarketsales.com and a few others) and I just got into the idea of it. My question is this: this particular after market product isn't really essential, is it? It's more of a novelty - and a potentially dangerous one at that. Do consumer good aftermarkets really have to resort to this kind of thing?
Does it include a camera so that it can still act as a mirror?
Hmm, maybe I should patent that idea!
I'm particularly fond of the dvd that's playing in that picture.
that will look good in my bathroom...
Carl M, include in your design a rear view camera for use when backing up.

Certain RVs (motor homes) have had this feature for several years, actually. But it would be nice on normal cars, too. I'm surprised it hasn't been done already, actually. It wouldn't add much to the cost of the vehicle. $200, if that.
Perhaps if you don't have anything better to watch than an exercise machine informercial, your time is better spent looking at pretty scenery or listeding to "To Kill a Mockingbird" on books on tape.
great, now sun visors will be down during the night.
wow thats pretty neat! :)
yea, um, what exactly is going on in this video...
Looks nice. Only I after visiting their website I was left too uncomfortable to seriously consider purchasing from them. What cars does it fit? What rez is the screen? What are the wire connections? Etc. Then the forced warranty? Sorry, it's not that nice to bypass all common sense about purchasing with little known or confirmed product information.
Not safe; not cool.
Looks sort of neat, but it seems like your neck would hurt after awhile watching something on this. Good for music, I guess, but then you'd probably be better off buying a cheap mp3 CD player if that's what you really want to play.
what is the website where they sell these?
Ok I'll bite! How in the heck do u get power to this contraption?
a lot of hard work went into that piece
