Have just bought in dash DVD player and two screens for the rear. Have got headrest mounts for the screens and am looking to permanently wire the screens in. Has anyone got any ideas how to run the wires from the screens down inside the seats please.

 

Cheers

Have you got side airbags in your front seats?

It's a real bugger!!

 

If you want to have a go here's what to do.

 

1. Recline the seat as much as possible

2. You will see right at the bottom of the backrest, there is a clip mechanism that slots the front fabric to the rear fabric - unclip this (it's easier to run a blunt screw driver down the whole length.

3. Once unclipped, roll the backrest fabric as much as you can - this will be easier if you remove the aircraft style table if you have them.

4. Watch out for theside airbags if yuou have them - If you do, this will be the maximum you can roll up.

5. Remove headrest and one of the guides (the one you want to feed the cable down.

6. Using a straightened hanger, poke through the exposed headrest guide hole and carefully find a passage down the bak of the seat - this is not easy!

7. Once a pathway has been found, tape one end of the cable to the hanger and feed it through.

8. Trail wires accordingly and use cable yies to fix to the bottom of the seat using a channel taking the wires to the underside of the seat.

9. Fit the guide back - you can just push thsi down and let the fabric flex to accomodate the cable under the guide or you may wish to cut out a hole.

10. Roll down the seat cover and reclip the ties at the bottom - this is a real b*****d to do - it took two of us a lot of time to snap these back in.

11. You will need to take extra care if you have seat heaters - watch for the heat pads in bothe the bacrest and the seat pad.

 

No liability accepted.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply on this. Have just put the cables in the seat following your instuctions and it has gone ok. Even clipping the two seat halves back together was easy.

 

Thanks
