Before i brute force anything and break some clips, anyone have any wisdom on how to remove the front seat plastic backings so i can fish wire from the headrest posts.

I thank you, my wife thanks you, and our impatient (but adorable) 15 month old thanks you. Cant have enough ELMO can we.

Thanks

 

i don't know if this will help i can email you a better pic

 

Ahh...a fellow NJ'er. Thank you. Yes, please email me a higher res version. Again, we all thank you. Please send to rdxmfc at hotmail.com

 

ok sent i think it's how to remove but i can send more pics i have a 07-08 service manual

 

hey I am in the process of installing headrest monitors for my 1 year old daughter as well ^.^. could you possible tell me or send me pics on how to do so. I would really appreciate it.

 

yes i can send you a picture just send me your email i don't know how the other guy made out if the picture help or not ?

 

yea that would be great if you could send those. My email is ah_sheat@yahoo.com. Send as many pics as you can. Thanks again.

 

Just buy an iPod touch or iPad and strap it to the headrest. It's a heck of a lot cheaper and the mobility is awesome.

 

^^ You funny...

 

I hate to sound like "that guy", but I have been an Engineer building seats (the steel frames under the foam/trim/covers etc.) for Mercedes, Chrysler, Subaru etc. for 8 years and have to say all the testing that takes place on driver and passenger seats unless it is specified in the customer specs. is done without any aftermarket DVD systems, or other devices.

I can tell you that there have been warranty claims that have come back that have been refused in spite of the fact that motoring shows etc. show people how to install the aftermarket products, based solely on the fact right or wrong that the specification did not included the added weight etc. associated with the add-ons. Seat structures like anything else pass requirements, but like anything else there is a significant difference between the "crash pulse" on a seat with and without a DVD screen or other add-on on the back.

Sorry to be "that guy", but I saw the part about the baby.

 

^^ Good to know... Guy

Its still funny though!

And also to add, that 'adaptor' will be a BMW option!

 

To the OP, what brand headrests did you use, or to anyone else for that matter? I have been looking all over for ones and can't find any that tilt as far forward as the OEM ones. I actually use the headrest and would love to keep it usable. How do you like them? Thanks for the help.

I have also been looking into to putting screens in the rdx's headrests but it seems that it would need to be a smaller 7" screen and would be pretty tight at that. Has anybody out there given this a shot?

Thanks Chris
