Welcome from Miami Beach Yasar!
Welcome from Virginia. I thought I’d use my rear system but with tablets it never happened. However, my rig is old and has to play dvds. Lots of nice stuff out there you can use in and out of vehicle. Good luck.

Man, when I was a kid my brothers and sisters had our own rear entertainment, it was called fighting! LOL
When ours were little that DVD player back there was the best thing since pizza and sliced bread. Now they drive me around.

Welcome from NH.
I hope that you will become an active participant in the discussions on this Forum. Lots of good folks here, sharing ideas and helping each other out.
I've never even tried my rear entertainment system in my truck, but then again, my kids have been out of the house and on their own for years, and my dogs don't really care about it.

You bring back memories, Swathdiver!
"His hand is on my side of the seat. Wa-Wa."
"If you two don't knock it off back there, I'll stop the car and give you something to whine about."
"I spy with my little eye...."
"Counting padiddles...."
I was always amazed just how fast my father's arm could whip around behind and reach us in the back seat, without him ever taking his eyes off the road. But, I digress.....
I will say one thing about the pre-tech days, however. There was always plenty of interactive person-to-person communication, while out on family drives, instead of being individually buried in phones, tablets, and DVDs. And, IMO, I think that we were better off for it.
Joseph, we were way better off. My mother ruled in the vehicle. 4 boys. She took no shit from either of us. The "wait till your father gets home" warning did it for us. That belt was 2" wide and hurt. Extra whacks if we put a hand on our ass. I think that one was universal for all families back then.
We had our share of games as well. I was oldest so I was up front with mom but the other 3 in back. State license plates for sure. The usual pushing and shoving in the back.
This is a true story I swear: If 2 or three of us were in fights and mom told dad, when we all were at the dinner table dad would call us out and we had to settle it right there on the kitchen floor, next to the dining room, either fists or wrestling. That way he could monitor it and not let it get out of hand. Man oh man do I miss those days.

Yes PNW, I forgot about the "Wait to your father gets home!" statement. Instant obedience, or rough times later on in the evening. Yes, and the strap was used when appropriate. A very real reminder that actions have consequences.
I never heard “wait until your father gets home.” What I heard after my doled our the punishment, which was usually with the help of a yard stick, was “and now you will deal with your dad when he gets home”.
I got in trouble at school one time, Catholic School, and Sister Patricia said I was only getting one crack of the ruler across the knuckles because she had called my mom and knew she was waiting for me. I lived 1-1/2 blocks from school and it took me 30 minutes to walk home. That made her even madder. She broke 2 wooden yardsticks on me that afternoon.
Toughened up those hands for working on rigs later in life. Plus, that sis of yours is a tattle tail.
