So you have purchased a pre-owned certified Toyota and are considering having an entertainment system installed.  Below are some tips to assist you in selecting the right entertainment system for you and your family;

  • If you have a minivan or SUV you may consider a rear-seat entertainment system to keep the kids entertained on long trips.  Keeping the kids from being bored is key to a peaceful driving experience during long trips and for getting caught in bumper to bumper traffic.
  • If you are concerned about the kids watching too much mindless T.V., consider taping an educational video, nature show, or a documentary to educate your older child on the geographic area you are traveling to.
  • Do your research on the different types of entertainment systems available, there are different options as to where to mount the center on the floor, dash, trunk, or under the third row seat.
  • Since 1998 entertainment systems have been available in cars.
  • If you want to wire your system to play video games, like PlayStation, make sure that the system you select has wire remote capability, others offer remote controls and some even have TV and FM radio tuners. VCP and DVD systems
  • Some entertainment systems will allow the passengers in the back seat to play video system while the front system plays a different audio source.
  • There are systems that are portable, and can be moved from one vehicle to another.  One such system is the Traveler, made by Rosen Products of Oregon. The Traveler is a complete, self-contained video system that features a 5.6-inch display (LCD) screen and built-in speakers. Cost for the Traveler is $399 to $499. Rosen, a leading manufacturer of mobile entertainment and communication systems for the automotive market, makes rear-seat entertainment systems for the Toyota Sienna and other makes and models.
  • Be cautious about misleading products that claim a vehicle has a DVD system when what it is really a navigation system that can play DVDs ONLY when the vehicle is in park.
