And 5 of 6. The small black cube at the top of the pillar lining is the infra red detector that talks to the DVD changer in the boot/trunk. The unit comes with a small remote control to allow you to change DVDs, access all the DVD special features etc.

and 6 of 6. This is the infra red sender that sends the stereo audio to the cordless headphones - so no wires in the cabin at all.

I just remembered about the DVD changer so I'll also add a 7th picture. Bear with me friends.

This is the DVD 6 disc changer in the boot/trunk.

Overall, for the two 6.5inch LCD screens, DVD changer, 2 pairs of IR headphones and all the installation of the system it cost me 1320 UK pounds. That's a lot of cash but we do tend to do long journeys (just come back from a drive to the French Alps) and it was great for our 10 and 6 year old kids.

(Note to self: Get in touch with DD and ask him how the hell he did that! )
I'll just betcha he got a life. Too late for me. This isn't quite as good as pedaling (or is that paddling) down the road, but it's the next best thing.

Flowerfred - ?1320 for the whole shebang including a professional installation. No wires to be seen - headphones have great sound and the screens are neat.
