TL Headrests in TL-S?

I'm looking to install a monitor in each of my headrests of my 2002 TL-S, but this cannot be done with the given design of the TL-S headrests so I was wondering if the standard TL headrests will fit in the TL-S seats?


Thanks,


Michael

Yes, it's possible. A couple people over at a-cl.com has put screen on their TL-S headrests. It's possible...just looks funny..

I definitly may be interested. I just bought the car yesterday so I've got to do a bit more research on what screens I want, etc. I'll let you know asap though. Thanks!

That would actually be ideal... although I'm a big fan of subtlety (sp?) and clean lines...so I wouldn't want the bottom half of the tv to be showing as much as teh TL-S headrests may cause it to. On the other hand I'm not a huge fan of the grandpa-cadillac look of the TLP headrests.....

Do you have, or could you take, a pic of the headrests by chance?


Thanks,

I ran into that dillemma. I didnt want TL non S headrests so I bought CLS headrests. Put big 5.6 monitors in those and it still has the cutout. See my gallery for pics. TLS headrests are way to small for monitors.

I will need to trade headrest this summer too for the TLP ones.

Acuracy02, I am in the same dilema. But have you thought about maybe a 10" monitor fold down for the backseat passengers instead of two for the headrest? Do you think that would look stupid? I just love the S headrest and hate to get rid of them.

The only time I am really accepting of fold down monitors is in SUV's. I really don't even like them in minivan's.... not sure though because I too am a fan of the TLS 'rests. I just want to make my video install to look really clean and I dunno that a fold down would accomplish that. Also, you'd have no way to see behind you since your rear view mirror would be blocked....

You are very right. Looks like the TLP headrest really are the only way to go. DANG!!!
