The biggest challenge to a roof mount anything is the mounting - perhaps for the more advanced do-it-yourselfer, I had to go buy slightly longer, wider head 4mm mounting screws because the screw head on the provided bolts was too close to the hole size. Setting that difficulty aside because it will be the same regardless what you install, here is my review of the XO Vision GX1572B.The unit came in a retail box packed inside a shipping box. Initially, the unit felt lightweight but I can understand you don't want anything too heavy hanging from your ceiling. Made in Hong Kong. I could not find any manual online.
There is a manual that comes with it. Some translation problems here and there but overall not too bad. Only strange thing is that it recommends you eject the DVD disc before cutting power to the unit or it could damage the disc. We followed that advie so, but forgot once or twice. No damage. It will remember where you were, if you put that same DVD back in before playing something else.
I tested the unit before mounting. It played several Zone 1 (North America) DVDs. It did not play some Star Wars DVDs I had which, when I looked, had an "A" instead of a "1" in the little square on the DVD case. Don't know why my home DVD plays them but this unit does not. However everything else (with the zone "1" mark) was fine.
There is no door over the DVD slot but rather a "brush" to keep stuff out. Seems strange, but one less moving part I guess...
Picture is bright enough. Infrared works fine for wireless headphones. If the sun is very bright it can interfere (this was rare) but pulling the drapes took care of that.
The FM transmitter works fine in case you don't want to use headphones. Just tune to 87.5 (I think that was it). I did not see any menu option to change that frequency.
The DVD drive itself sounds like it is struggling to pull the disc in or push it out. But we took a long trip where this was used at least 2 dozen times with no sign of fail, so I guess that's OK.
Biggest plus was the price for that size screen with a self contained unit. Just get 12 volts to your mount & no other cables are needed. It does have RCA input and output for audio and video in case you want to put a different source through it or if you want to run the output through an amp etc.
I give 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the things I have listed that seem a bit odd, but I have to say the unit did do as was advertised.
