""Rear-seat entertainment systems are part of the hot trend in bringing mobile multimedia systems into vehicles,"" said David J. Bastin, Director, Marketing, Delphi Delco Electronics Systems. ""These systems are especially popular with the growing market segment that is purchasing sport utilities and vans. However, this system is so versatile that it fits almost any car or truck with a rear seat regardless of size.""

A 7-inch diagonal color display flips up from the console to show movies or games. With this Communiport system, entertainment does not have to stop in the vehicle. The lightweight system can be easily carried into a hotel room or home to continue viewing movies or playing games. The 20-inch long by 8-inch wide console also provides storage space to keep headphones, game cartridges, DVDs and other accessories. The audio video control board is designed to prevent damage and contains recessed headphone jacks, volume controls and game inputs. The DVD player accommodates DVD videos as well as standard music CDs.
