I thought the same thing and was also told that you could watch your DVDs at least on the screen above the doorway on our Axis 24.1. Nope! The two inside screens did have HDMI cables into the nearby cabinets where the receptacles are also located. I bought two small BluRay DVD players at Costco and leave them in the adjacent cabinets. I haven't had a need to watch a DVD on the outside screen but if and when I do, I'll just transfer the player to the input for it. You can make it work... I'd leave the unit in the dash alone....
