    That’s really cool! So the media system was there already, but you added the raspberry pi and modified it to accept hdmi as well?

      Yeah pretty much. The DVD player is some aftermarket unit that the previous owner had “professionally” installed (it was not done well, I fixed it’s issues).

      I also installed a 2-into-1 HDMI switch, so it can use either the built-in raspberry pi or an external device, like a Switch console.

        I like the setup. We only have two separate DVD players that is mounted on the headrests, but you can link one of them to slave the other. They only support divx files via fat32 formatted usb thumb drives, but also have rgb input, so I have been dreaming of making a better solution. I have a raspberry pi lying around so I might just end up doing something similar to you.
