I did do them myself, and I paid $180 for each screen from a wholesale place in phoenix. I can also get you the flip out dvd systems as well. You can see in the thermo pic that I also have a kvt-911 dvd flip out up front

The Pics look great! Can you send me the contact info for the wholesale place to get the monitors for $180 ea.

How difficult was it to put them in the headrests?

Does the wiring go down through the post?

I am actually a dealer for them, if you would like I can ship a pair out to you. I've already had a few people email me asking for the same thing. The actual mounting of the headrests is kind of a pain too because the fabric is sooo thick and the 4runner headrests have a metal plate about a inch behind the foam making it a little harder yet. ( I could possibly do these as well). You cannot run the wire through the post because it is one solid piece. I just ran the wire right down beside the post, and when the headrest is in and down, you can't see anything.


Maybe $75 a headrest for mounting?

That'd get you at $255 installed each.

The other cool thing about those headrests is the LCD's turn on only when they have a video signal, so you don't need to wire any remote wires or anything, just power/ground/video.
