Functional with few features. 
2007-08-20
We purchased this for 4 day car trip, it was a life saver. Only issues occurred when players sat in hot sun and video started skipping. We cooled the players down and they work fine. We are making sun visors to protect the players. We have not had any problems with video quality or sound volume. Most of the time we only used the audio from one player.
Pros:
- Reads DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW etc. Burn video files as a data disc and they will play. Files must be MPEG1, MPEG2, or DVD format. I fit 4 full movies onto one DVD!
- 9" sreen has decent resolution.
- 2 remotes
Cons:
- Plastic feels cheap
- No AC adapters
- Only one player accepts video input
- Composite video ONLY
- Poor compatibility w/ file formats
- Cheap carrying bag
Given the price I was disappointed by the lack of features. They are functional enough, and 9" screens are not cheap for any model. If I were to do it over I would find a single player w/ lots of features (compatibility, video inputs, etc) and just buy two of them!
Good for the price 2007-08-02
Just installed the system in our Toyota Sienna today.. Both the units can function as a stand alone, or be slaved together for 1 dvd 2 screens. This will be a handy feature for kids movie on one screen, older movie on another in seperate rows.
The audio is via a single small speaker, but when both are in use, its acceptable quality in a quiet car. The option is there via a seperate cable (sold seperately) for plugging it into external audio (like car speakers), or plug into the handy headphone jack.
My biggest gripe is that the video screen on the 'slave' unit is a much lower quality then the main screen... this is not due to calbes, etc.. as a dvd played on the unit itself has fuzzy lines, etc.. what a shame to cut corners there.
The av jacks are standard size, so feel free to bring your own length of cable for longer runs... the supplied power cables are very long.
built well, but poor sound

Unit is solid and the picture is good, but the audio system is underpowered. The built in speaker is tiny, and the internal amp makes it hard to hear in a noisy car even with headphones. (non-noise canceling cheap ones anyway).
I'm going to return my unit. I've been very happy with AudioVox in the past, I'm surprised this unit got through basic testing. I anticipated the problem when I put in a DVD in my living room, before I even tried it in the car.
Note: Unit doesn't come with a 120V adapter, but does have a stand for putting it on a table. Presumably you can use any 12V adapter that fits.
not perfect

I bought this product at the local target for $269 + tax.
The plan was simple: provide videos from my iPod to my kids sitting in the 2nd and 3rd row of the car.
The primary unit only has AV out while the second unit only has AV in.
This makes sense if you want to watch DVDs but it also means you can't plug video games or ipod for videos on both units. The cable to link the primary unit to the secondary is also barely long enough to link both units when installed on the first row head rests. If you add to this that my original plan was to go from first row head rests to second row head rests, this is way too short. Luckily, these units use a standard composite cable which makes it easy to buy an extension.
The monitors are not very bright but the resolution is decent and the size makes up for it.
The deal breaker for me was the sound level: it's totally unacceptable for car use. I even plugged in my noise cancellation headset with an amplifier without much improvement. And I have a brand new ultra quiet SUV.
With that, there's no AC adapter so your only choice is to use it in the car.
I'm returning the units.
Warning-Not enough audio sound 2008-06-15
I purchased this unit from Target. The video is great,kids can watch two separate movies, etc. but all of that doesn't matter because they can't hear them. Even bought good quality ear phones & there is not enough sound to hear in a moving vehicle.
Device broke on first use; terrible customer service 2008-01-20
We easily set the dual device up in our Volkswagen Passat Wagon and it worked just fine when we plugged them in. A tab inside the device broke off when we changed the DVD and the master player would no longer recognize that their was a disk inside. We called customer service and had to wait on hold for over an hour. Even though we had only used the device one time, we were told we had to pack it up and ship it to a repair location--at our expense. No telling how long it would take for the repair either.
Horrible!!!!!!!!!! 2008-01-05
We bought this product at Target for around $200 last summer
and didn't even use it often because it was two pieces of junk . After the first one fried itself along with my DVD, we figured we had another one to use so whatever...Surprise, surprise, the second one just imploded. You shake it and you can hear all the parts rattling around inside. It was a disaster from day one. You could never hear it and the picture quality was always poor. Didn't even last 6 months before both screens broke. A terrible, substandard product. I don't even want to give it one star but I have no choice because one star is the lowest I can rate it! Buyer beware!

Just bought this a few days ago from Target on sale for $199. I bought the 3 yr protection plan for an extra $19--figure you can't go wrong. I'm expecting good reliability from Audiovox. The unit works great. I like how you have the option of playing two separate dvd's. The picture quality is good, the audio is fair. It doesn't have an internal battery so you can only plan it with AC and DC current. The remote controls only work when pointing at the units from the back seat, not from pointing at the rear of the unit from the front seat. This makes it tough when sitting in the front seat and trying to make adjustments. Overall it's a great alternative to having an overhead installed DVD player for $700-$1,500...plus you can move it from car to car.
