Abstract: An overhead vehicle entertainment unit is disclosed. The unit includes a housing for accommodating electronic components such as a control module, an audio module, a video module and an illumination module. A video display, such as an LCD panel, is pivotally attached to the housing. The housing is mountable in an interior of a motor vehicle, and includes at least one vent disposed on a side portion of the housing for allowing airflow to cool electronic components within the housing. A port is provided on a side portion of the housing for allowing a removable media source, such as a DVD, to be selectively inserted into and removed from the entertainment unit.
