Cutting into headrests help?
Hey all,
I'm preparing to cut into my headrests to install 7" LCDs. I don't have the LCDs yet, I'm just doing TONS of research before I do ANYTHING. So I'm wondering if anyone has any pictures of cutting into their 3rd gen headrests and how hard it was. Any recommendations? Tips? I'm thinking of cutting an X into the leather (to be able to fold the flaps in for a nice seam. Then I'll remove the foam material and cut some holes into the metal tube frame (it's all one piece -- I blew into one and air came out the other) to feed the wires, and then fix the frame for the LCD into the foam. Anyone have any pics taken DURING installation not after? I've already searched for after-install pics.
Thanks guys!
Rob

I like the visiologic set-up, any idea on the costs? ...Decide to call and find out...Hi-Fi Buys is my local dealer and they want $1299 with out the DVD player built into it. They dont have the ones with the DVD player included so they could not quote a price. Like it was said they dont make it for the TL anyway

Wow, that's way too much money. The LCDs I'm looking at are $115 on eBay. Not sure if I'll settle on those, we'll see. So that's $230 for the two LCDs. Then a slim PSTwo for $199CAN. Then the AVElectronic box or something like it. I only need two A/V inputs, so maybe there's a box out there that can do it for me... The AVE box is SO expensive.

I agree...way to much, that is for new headrests with built-in 7" monitors and the rest of the klit required to hook to a DVD player. I guess they are proud of their kit...or HI-FI Buys is anyway...who knows what the make-up is.

New headrests? Hmmm... I doubt they are as nice as the Acura OEM ones... Probably kinda generic. I think I'll stick to the OEM. I hope it'll go ok. I checked the price on Sunnyside (did I say this already?) and they're $168, so I don't want to ruin one!
I still haven't decided on LCDs yet though. I found these on eBay:

What do you guys think?
