You have found 2 that are the same product the Rosen AV7500, which is the ones that i have fitted

Not that i have compared them to any other, but they are excellent, the leather is not bad match too, though maybe slightly shinier

Each play their own DVD, or one plays it and the other headrest can watch it, they transmit the sound to IR headphones or via the FM transmitter to the car radio (you can choose the station and prog the radio)

The games are 1980s graphics but kept my 2 mates quiet for a few hours on one of the puzzle games

My kids love them, though they will want to switch them on even for a 30sec trip in the car

They get my vote, mine were fitted already, but they look straight forward to fit too

Thread wires down back seat through the headrest slots, to a central control box which you will need to feed power and plug it all together

Thanks again Thumbs Up

For whats its worth MAW, for that sort of money, I'd get a couple of IPads and a decent seat mount. Smile

Just relooked at the pictures, the description on both of them is av7500, but the pictures shown in the 1st link are not the av7500 Thumbs Up buyer beware with that one Thumbs Up

The Rosen look factory fit and work really well, I pads will always look aftermarket, you also would have to be very careful where you left the car as a couple of iPads would be a big attraction to opportunist thieves.

I think the iPads are a good idea but I can see them in the footwell, sat on, suffering spillages - I am tempted with the headrests to avoid those things. I could place them under the rear seats when not in use so security not that much of a concern.

Main concern is still leather match....

BC - have you seen seat mounts you would use in this scenario?

Thanks all !

Edit: i think your refering to the ipads been under the seat Embarassed

With the rosens been wired in the headrest can not be removed as the wires run thought the headrest bars, down through the seats to the control box
