Default what do you guys think about this setup?

I'm looking to buy this from crutchfield...

http://www.crutchfield.com/app/cart/...aspx?nolp=true

Do you guys foresee any issues with this setup, I am looking for more brand name dvd player but unsuccessful. I should be able to control some features for this dvd player through my LS430 Navi interface right?

I really like this dvd changer...

But I think it's overpriced. I think I can just swap out my cd changer for this dvd changer indash.

well honestly im an ebay type of guy, i thought crutchfeild is too expensive for me but those monitors look good.. I love alpine
and I actually had a Valor headunit in my old car (1GS) but it was a flip out.
Not bad head units for the price. Only thing that bothered me was that the color of the new head unit wasnt the same color as my AC controls, and everything else on the dash.
Valor headunit lights up blue.

Search amazon.com for some of those units and you will find brand new items from much better prices. My head unit on crutchfield.com was 500 and amazon.com had it for 280.00 brand new shipped to my door.

I have a portable dvd player w/ wires all over the place looking like crap. Soon Sophia is going to want to watch TV in the back, so I need a dual monitor system

I already check the usual places ebay and amazon, and Crutchfield was cheaper. I am planning on hiding the Valor head-unit inside my glove department or the armrest, so the color of the lights won't be bothering me..
