I am looking for a mobile DVD player for the car. Just a stand-alone player, not a portable player with a screen.

Man, there are a LOT of inexpensive 12v mobile DVD players. I am looking for a trunk mount.

Here are my priorities:

1) Must be able to play DVD-R/DVD+R media (use copies in the car, leave the real ones at home)

2) Remote "eye" so I can mount it in the trunk and control it from the car

3) Anti-shock

4) Be able to mount it horizontally or vertically (stand it on end in the trunk)

5) Be able to power it down (or into stand-by)via switched 12v

Stuff like DD 5.1, DTS, optical digital out, etc do not matter.


I have done searches in the forum and in the DVD player ratings and it looks like the Blaupunkt DVD-ME1 would work - except it is a tray player and can't be mounted vertically.

So has anyone tried any of the slot slot 2nd gen players?

Thanks!
Dennis
