My Headrest Monitors - Installed
I decided to buy some headrest monitors for my truck, after researching several monitors, I did decide to go with a cheaper monitor. I bought Farenheits because I read many many good reviews about them. I found them on eBay for $105 each, $130 shipped so my total cost for the pair was $260. Here is pictures of the install, it only took me about an hour total to install them.
I don't have any video sources hooked up yet, that should arrive tomorrow with my a/v switch arriving either tomorrow or Monday.

This way it will all be installed, dvd player in the glove box, a/v switch under the seat so I can hook the xbox up to it with a power inverter. Possibilities are endless, I will eventually put a Pioneer Z1 in my dash and have the three monitors total.

Those things are freakin stuck in there, I tried to take them out to do some fixing to it, and hell no, they are now stuck. Maybe another day I will fix it, but for the time being, they aren't too bad.

Install looks nice. Where are you going to put your xbox? I thought about putting one in mine.

I have the Eclipse AVN5500 up front and the factory oem dvd entertainment system hooked up together in my king ranch...Im installing my two JL 10w3v2's in the box and running my xbox360 to the monitors...I will get pics soon. It looks awesome so far! I wanna put monitors in the headrests, but they dont sell replacement headrests with screens for the king ranch...which sucks, and Im not so sure about cutting into the headrest and messing up the leather. Anyone have any suggestions? By the way nice install...looks badass!
