Things You'll Need:
- Satellite TV reception
- Internet access
-
Step 1
Decide on placement. The first step is to decide where the monitor will go. If you plan on watching the news on the way to work, putting the monitor up front is essential. If the TV is to keep the kids quiet during long road trips, somewhere in back is most appropriate.
-
Step 2
Measure the space. Once you decide where to put the monitor, measure the space available. Be sure to write down the dimensions and take them to the store with you.
-
Step 3
Go to the store. Once you have a general idea of the type of monitor you are looking for, head to the nearest electronics store. Also try shopping online.
-
Step 4
Look at your options. At the store, find the monitor that generally matches the size you are looking for. Next, look at all the options and styles available. Some will attach to the dashboard or the back of the seat. Others will hang from the ceiling or even be free standing.
-
Step 5
Check on reception compatibility. Before buying your monitor, be sure it is compatible with the satellite reception available in your car. Ask a store employee if you are unsure.
-
Step 6
Buy the monitor. Once you have chosen the right monitor, it's time to make your purchase. Ask about the warranty and if there are any discounts.
