Can you suggest something better? DVD vastly preferred, HDMI not negotiable.

Kenwood DDX2768BT Indash DVD, BT, USB input (on the rear so you will need a short USB extension to make it easier to get to), Composite Analog video in and composit analog video out..
$269 HERE at Amazon..
Manual can be found HERE
If your TV has HDMI only input, then you need one of these..

Which is a composite analog video to HDMI scaler/converter for $14 HERE at Amazon. The scaler/converter takes care of the issue with non compatible video sources. Will need 12V to 5V USB power source but that is also easy to get.
I use a composite to HDMI for my legacy home video equipment, they work very well..
You do not need a HDMI output for playing a DVD, DVD is not High definition, it is strictly Standard Definition (SD) at 480i and looking for a DVD player with HDMI output doesn't improve SD video, it only makes the connection a bit easier.
Pioneer is also a good choice..
AVH-X390BS HERE
AVH-X2800BS HERE (note, this one has been discontinued so availability will disappear when stock runs out)
JVC would be another choice..
VC KW-V250BT HERE Marked as discontinued but still in stock.
If you are just looking for a 12V DVD player, you can buy standalone 12V DVD players.. Has HDMI output..

HERE
There are more 12V DVD players found HERE
