You probably have to get the TV tuner first??

If you're talking about special equipment to install monitor in headrest.......that's what I want to find out, too.

Thanks Charles,

I've seen a couple of TL's with 7" headrest monitors so I am sure it'll work.

More pics will be posted once I installed them.

dude~ i think your gonna have to get it installed at a shop..send it to ron......unless you can make a mounting kit for it. and that bump(the logo of the screen) on the bottom of the monitors is gonna make it even harder.

If u wanna get those installed, you will need to make a kit for it. If u guys will consider, I can ask my co-worker to help with a better price. I knew he did many many headrest before and they are all show quality( not the one like mine). I am still learning alot of stuff from him.

Hey Ian,

Can you ask him how much he's going to charge? Maybe package deal?? (Me & mayur) Mayur has same monitors. That's total of 4 headrest monitors.

Let me know.

I will ask for u, I think is better to do all in one time, but he wanna chk out the headrest and the monitors first, so he will know how long is it gonna take and what kind of job need to be done.

I've seen one on Stanman's TL & it was good. But it really depends on reception area.
