No mention on how to jimmy the wires thru that hole in the fabric and down the back of the seat. Ive been at it over an hour. Tried coat hanger still no luck.

I think I unbent a hanger and sent it through from the top near the back of the chair. then hooled the cable on the end and pulled it through.

Finally got it! Whew. Getting the wires through the seat was the hardest part of the entire job for me. Pics taken w/ my phone, so aren't the best.

I just picked up a couple 7" monitors in hope of doing this mod, but I have a couple questions. First question, I'm 6'10", so my headrests are always up all the way. I have leather seats and am kind of hesitant to drill a hole through the leather that everyone will see. Has anyone tried putting some kind of grommet in to clean it up a little bit? Does anyone have a picture of the hole they made by any chance? Second question, I'm pretty inexperienced in wiring, so am not sure if I fully trust myself to tap into the 12v power. Where exactly is the 12v wire you tap into? And do you guys just use a plastic wire tap? I know I can wire it up to the head unit no problem, it's just tapping into power wires that makes me nervous. Any help is very much appreciated!
