Not only you but your family can also watch DVD movies very comfortably with Overhead DVD Players at the time of traveling. And good thing is that it is very easy to install. Even the people with no basic idea can install it however some experience and familiar person can do it quickly. Anyways by spending some time in the installation, you can save the money on the setup expenses.

Before installation you have to first choose an appropriate Overhead DVD Player after reading reviews on the internet. You will also get the installation guide with you at the time of purchase but if you have any doubt about setting it up, then you can also contact to the manufactures of that company.

So where to put the Overhead DVD Player is the most important thing. You should place it there from where it can be viewed by everyone without much effort. It might be necessary to remove the dome light. The next thing you have to do is to draw outlines in the place where you are going to set it up. Remember that the outlines you draw is exactly centered from both sides of car.

Drop the only one side of car headliner for making the wiring arrangement easy. Then unbolt the sun visor of either the passenger side or the driver side where the fuse box is located. Now slowly pull the connectors and disconnect the vanity light. Knob the below and upper pillar trims board on the same side from where you took out the sun visor. To do this, you might need to remove the seat belt if it is connected with the upper pillar. Finally place the panel to the side by losing the panel over the fuse box.

Now it’s time to cut out the outlines that you have drawn on the car headliner. And if a support beam doesn’t run across the place where you want to place that Overhead DVD Player then you need to attach the wood rail on the top of the car and mark at least four drills on the wood so that it’s centered on the beam.
Leave enough slack to connect to the player when you set up the cables through the headliner. Read you installation guide and employ the hardware that came along with your Overhead DVD Player. Hide the cables in the panels that you took out. Install the set attentively by employing the short screws that you get with your Overhead DVD Player. Fix the dome wires with correct wires by referring to the installation guide.

Join the audio wires and connect the power as per the installation guide. Remember to connect all the wires to a 12-volt source except the black wire. The black wire is needed to be grounded by using any screw. Make utilization of wire roller and electrical tape for secured wire connections and eventually fasten all panels, headliner and seat belt to their exact position after setting up the audio cable to the FM modulator.

In this way you can finally complete the installation of your Overhead DVD Player in your car. But since it takes more than five hours, you should start doing this only when you have plenty of free time. But don’t screw it tightly or it may cause your screen look buckle.

When your DVD Player is covered with dust, then it becomes difficult for it to read the disc and you get no-disc error frequently. To solve this problem you can easily clean your DVD player with moist DVD player cleaner. However this doesn’t solve the problem sometimes so you might need to clean the lens of the DVD player as well. It’s also not quite complicated task but required some important steps to do it well.

Step 1
First make sure that your lens is actually the problem. Sometimes DVD Player doesn’t work when the disc are scratched or dirty. To ensure this, insert a disc that had been playing recently. If it doesn’t, then follow the second step.

Step 2
You can purchase a DVD Player lens cleaner disc to clean it. You can get this at any large department store nearby. Insert that disc and play it. Most of the time it solves the problem but sometimes you need to manually clean the lens when that lens cleaner disc fails.

Step 3
You need to remove the outer casing of the DVD player by unscrewing the screws that holds it. There are mostly two types of casings. One with front separated from back and another with top removed from the bottom. Remove either of them and the bottom or back piece will be exposed that holds the lens.

Step 4
Search for the lens. Lens is actually a glass with blue tint, so you can easily find it by shining a light on the components to watch for the reflection. Where the reflection occurs, there is your lens.

Step 5
Wipe the lens with cotton swab by moisturizing it with isopropyl alcohol. After wiping it for few seconds, dry it with the other end of the cotton swab.

Step 6
Let the lens to get dry and now replace the outer casing of the DVD player by screwing them back. Insert a well working disc to check if it has worked out. If it doesn’t then I think you might need to replace one.
