Be the first on your block to install the new second generation, DVD-ME2 stand-alone DVD player in your car. Touting a simple and easy integration with nearly any car audio/video system, the player features various mounting configurations, a broad array of connectivity options, and superior audio/video reproduction including compatibility with Dolby Digital, DTS, and MP3-encoded discs.

The DVD-ME2 is just 6-7/8 inches wide, 2-3/8 inches tall, and 7-7/8 inches deep, and can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, so it can be installed in a center console, under a dashboard or seat, in a trunk, or almost anywhere else in a vehicle. An outboard Infrared Remote sensor gives passengers complete handheld control of the unit regardless of mounting location. In addition to an advanced mechanical shock isolation suspension, the player features an anti-shock buffer memory to prevent interruption of playback on rough road surfaces.

Video reproduction in either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios is possible, for compatibility with conventional or widescreen monitors. A set of RCA A/V input connections to allow easy connection of a portable MP3 player, camcorder, or videogame console. The player’s side panel features a second set of RCA inputs for a dedicated AUX source such as a back-up camera or other device. A single 14-pin harness on the side-panel provides simplified connection of power, ground, AUX input, IR input, A/V output, and digital audio output. It is compatible with DVD, CD, CD-R/RW, and MP3 encoded discs. The device is priced at 350 dollars US. For the gadget hungry, go here for the full scoop.

What it doesn't say, which is a problem on most dvd players that will play mp3s, is does it read mp3s off of a DVD or just CD-R/Ws? If it can do that I would install it in a minute.

Del_Usion that was a very good question. So I went ahead and contacted Blauplunkt immediately after seeing these responses. To my amazement they said they did'nt know! But then they indicated that they were going to find out and would call back. Which they did. They say that the unit WILL play back MP3 on DVD-r no problem! Thanks for the question!!!

Sounds like Blaupunkt has some good customer support. At least, they do when they're trying to sell you something.
