dab1hand2 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Hi, I have just bought a pair of headrest dvd/monitors - like these on ebay Has anyone fitted these before? It say's in the instructions all I need to do is run a pos and neg cable to them - can anyone suggest the best place to take the power from? Quote
searcher Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Hi, can you tell me what you think about the quality of them?Do they seem good value for money?I would have thought you should be able to take the power from the radio area maybe. Quote
gregers Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) i like the look of them,are the rests them selves plastic?and how much did they burn a hole in your pocket?coz there 82 quid with 1 day remaining,me thinks these could go for a lot of dosh? Edited March 11, 2008 by gregers coz i dont speelle propper Quote
dab1hand2 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Posted March 17, 2008 I fitted these on Friday and it took most of the afternoon. They are great!!! - the kids love them as they can both watch different films or the same film. We went away for the weekend and we never heard a thing from them. The fitting is fairly straight forward. I originally wired them to the rear of the radio but I think it might be better to wire them to somewhere else. Very brief fitting guide - 1. Remove the original headrest.2. undo the bottom of the seatback cover and feed the cable through from the top of the seat back cover to the bottom. Then the new headrest can go on.3. feed the cable underneath the base and though the hole in the centre mounting where the seat swivels (allowing the seat to still swivel without trapping the cable.)4. pull off the bottom part of the door apature seal. remove the trim from between the door apature and carpet. 5. Run a length of twin core cable from the seatbase following existing wiring looms around to your choice of power supply 6. disconnect your battery.7. solder the headrest cables to the twincore cable. and then connect the twin core to the powersupply.8. Reconnect your battery and test they work before replacing trims ex....... some of these headrests come with covers - mine didn't. I have a ghia and the windows are already dark ish green but you can see thro them. I think I'll get the darkened so you can't. Quote
searcher Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Sounds good to me. When our clip on headrests screens pack up (and they will) i may go for some of these.Maybe its poss to get a cover just to go over the headrest. Im sure you should get something from somewhere. Quote
