Is that two screens

Besty the only problem is when i sell the car the headrest for the mk1 are harder to get hold of so would end up flogging kit with car and i would rather take it from car to car.How did you hide wires down back of seat are they inside seat

Looks like the kit that mp3 playerstore sell.

I tried ordering from mp3 as they are dirt cheap unfortunatly they took my money but didnt send it, got my money back after a nasty e-mail though.

if you are going to get them from Halfords - then you need to check out this link first, and see how to claim your 10% discount ;)

£30 saving - that would save the annual gold subscription in one go! B)

the rear panel of the seat is screwed on by 2 posi screws just below the pouch on the rear of seat, it then slides down and out reveiling all the internals

i ran my cables down the side of the sockets where the headrests slot into.

BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TEAR THE LEATHER/CLOTH when doing so ,otherwise its one easy job to do ;)

What is everyones view of having LCD screens on the rear of headrests? Is it just asking for your car to be broken into?

no sorry mate it is just a single screen.

I agree colin that is why that system seemed good as the screens are not in the headrests and can be removed if need be when parking in places that are risky .

Having them nicked is not my first thought, my first throught is what happens in the unlikely event of being hit from the rear, the head rests are there to protect the back of your head and neck from whip lash injury, where the hell is all that iron work and screens going to go, if the head rests were designed to have screens in them then they would come as standard or option item. There head rests, not screen housings. Just my opinion.

[ColinBarber]

Also a rear passenger could smash their head on the screen in an accident.

[mudzs]

Alright you ,ve put me of ,i'll buy them a rubiks cube instead that will keep em quiet

Not in my car, all passengers must wear a seat belt. I seen first hand what happens during Front, rear and side impacts

[ColinBarber]

Belts do stretch a long way though. There would be no need for airbags in the front if seat belts were good enough. I'm sure it won't be long before we start to see rear airbags.

You could get some covers made up to go over the headrests. I have seen this done before.

Depends where you tend to park the car. I didnt bother with the wife's car and I have to say, DVD screens are no more expensive than a half decent car stereo nowadays

Whoops this has gone slightly

Agreed, Although I think they wouldn't stretch that far, I for one don't want to prove it one way or the other.
