Link Dvd To Dvd Monitors In Head Rests

[bilts]

Hi Guys,

I am considering doing the hack on my 220d SE and wondered if there was a way of linking the DVD player in the dash to other DVD monitors in the car? (for instance if i bought to monitors and installed them in the head rest)

Any ideas?

It is possible. I found this ages ago and had it bookmarked for future reference in case I ever wanted headrest monitors. If you google 'Dalco car audio' you should be able to find their website and get a quote or something.

It looks like you can just take a signal from pin1 and 2 of the player for the signal.

If sending to two DVD screens so 3 total, I would use a signal amplifier so there's no loss across screens. HERE is a 7way amp - £30 from CPC, but I've seen 4 way's for about £20 there, just can't find it.

If you have the system open to do the hack, I'd be tempted to cut the wire to pin1 to see if the signal goes off. You can always re-join it.
