Overhead rail in grand caravan
From the commercials on tv it looks like the Grand caravan has the overhead rail system. I remember Ramb. saying another manufacturer had picked up the idea from them. The dodge website show a crappy pic of DVD, looks to be the same.

Also, it was made public knowledge that our rail will be on the next generation GM minivans too.
All truck, sport Ute, and minivan programs have shown interest and we are very busy.
we just received the PACE award for this innovation. The PACE is the technology / innovation award most coveted by the automotive supply base. We were excited to hear that news.
Although the rails are slightly different than the Ford truck. for the most part, the modules will be interchangeable.

Here is some info on the Phatnoise module.
PhatNoise leads entertainment choices
Uplander's range of available in-vehicle entertainment choices is unprecedented. From XM Satellite Radio to a DVD player with flip-down screen and integrated controls, long drives pass more enjoyably. And then there's PhatNoise.
A segment-exclusive, the available PhatNoise system is a wallet-sized, 40-gigabyte hard drive that installs in the Uplander's overhead rail system. The system's capabilities include:
Storing and playing back up to 10,000 songs in MP3, WMA or WAV formats.
Storing and playing up to 40 movies in MPEG format (standard format for movies).
Storing and playing a combination of songs and movies.
The ability to provide the software for playing a video game.
The ability to provide a voice-browsing interface - if the driver wants to listen to music, the system tells him or her over the radio speakers the song's name, allowing the driver to run through a list of stored music using steering wheel buttons.
Listening to books, magazine or newspaper articles recorded on a PC.
Allowing simultaneous listening to two entertainment sources.
Transferring digital camera pictures through a USB port in the PhatNoise cartridge and playing them back on the DVD screen.
The PhatNoise system's hard drive is easily removable, so it can be connected to a home PC or laptop to download computer files for playback in the Uplander, giving passengers an unprecedented level of entertainment customization.
