My Headrest Monitors (for xA xB tC) (56k warning)
I just wanna share some pics of my vizualogic headrest. it was either this or the myron & davis but I think this looks cleaner. also I didn't want to cut my headrests just to get a 5" LCD in there.
I was going to do another D.I.Y. but time was against me(so I couldn't take any more photos of the install). hopefully I can explain enough to get by
on with the pics,
the box it came in
comparison of the stock tc headrest and the vizalogic
for the 12volt savvy people out there this was the only thing that took time, taking those damn metal rings off the seat covers. after that you can stick your arm in there to run your wire(from the headrest post to under the seat)
after you got the wire under the seat you can run the wire along side the splitloom from the seatbelt warning wires(just make sure you leave some slack so the seat can recline and move forward and back and not snagging the wires for the headrests) and run it under the carpet to the brain of the headrests. and you can read the manual from then on about how to wire it up.
here's the finished pics.
with video feed.
video feed and no flash with my LCD mirror(reference to my LCD mirror and dvd player can be found here --->..:Click Me:..
and last...the side profile of the unit.
and that's all folks!!

Not bad, now I suppose you can't take those off now for the comfort seating.
Or you could and you'll just leave the wire dangling out, while the headrest lays on the rear foot area under the reclined seats.

Or just be really desperate for a place to sleep after a night of drinking.

which was
1) factory look and quality
2) bigger than what you can put in the factory headrest(5inch)
3) warranty
4) dual a/v inputs
5) IR for wireless headphones for my kids. and
6) the ability to send back the LCD to be placed in a different headrests to match if I sell my car(for a price of course)
I too was looking at those headrests but I wasn't going to redo my interior(in the future),only had a single input and no IR(which means I need to add another module somewhere which I didn't want) to each his own you know.
