chips have been known to pack up even if keys have been dropped i was told by ford head supervisor to super glue mine in place on the mk1

hi guys just to let you know i have started install (not got as much as i would have liked due to work commitments) buoght some mk headrests of ebay(slightly darker anthracite)but all that was available at the time as i didn't want to bugger my originals up if i got it wrong. :angry2: could not find a coach trimmers to do the task as they said headrests on newer vehicles are all one cover and brace with hot foam blown in (1) put masking tape on headrest so you can make a template to cut out (2) cut slightly smaller as there is quite alot of give in the foam and material (3) check size of backplate by trial inserting and re cutting a little at a time in the centre bottom of the headrest there is a hole that was used during pruduction to blow hot foam in i used that to feed screen wire through when every thing looks okay fix back plate (i used high strength carpet adhesive) and lots of pressure with a vice but something heavy would suffice and hey presto feed cable through hole as mentioned and fit screen (4) then feed a small diam length af plastic tube from the top of the seat to the bottom,thought this would be a knightmare but pipe followed the seams of the seat very easily tape lead to the end and draw up through seat (5) dummy fitted wiring and connected up and tested thats as far as i have got for now but have got to fit sony monitor on headlining by the supplied support (not looking forward to dropping headlining) will keep you all posted

hi all just got round to trying dvd setup bought of ebay sony xvm-r65 flip down overhead monitor,dvd player and a pair of veba av65-mk headrest screens and sony infra red headphones dummy wired it in the car at the weekend and everything works ok(pic quality on sony is great) the only problem is that with both screens working the sound is distorted-found that if you cover the veba ir transmitters sound quality is restored :( does anyone know how i can switch off ir transmitter on veba screens and just have output through sony thanks redneck :blush:

from your description sounds like lower arm(wishbone) :D

would it not be worth plugging vag com in to see if there are any faults logged in ecu? low boost pressure maybe :D

mo4 i used a stanley knife blade for the flat bits and works sandbaster for awkward bits(typical comes of easy when used but a sod to come off when you want it to) also used brake cleaner to lift off anything i left. :D

yes mum of 4 very easy to fit carfully take the small inner grab handle out with small flat screwdriver then lift the larger part out you will need a philips screwdriver for drivers door switches and the small screwdriver to do the others(just unclip the lugs halford also do dayglo pink paint ;)
