NavTool, check. Good unit. You will need to run the switch into the cabin somewhere. This will switch between normal vid screen and aux input on the NavTool.

PIE X3, check. I have to install mine, but I did one for another member. You will have to tear down the dash a bit to install it. Switch options are the lower cubby hole in the center console, glove compartment under armrest, or cutting a hole in the dash--I would use the plastic panel under the steering wheel.

You didn't mention brand of DVD or where you wanted to mount it. Some have used the rear seat armrest, others have used the large cubby hole in the center dash. The latter location requires some significant cutting, fyi.

As for the headrests, the cleanest would be to cut out holes in the existing ones and mounting the screens in them. Requires a ton of balls, but good results can be obtained with patience and attention to detail. If you want to go aftermarket, try visiting some car audio shops to see what models they have that match your color the closest. Get the make/model, go online for the cheapest price and then see if the local shop will beat it!

I got mine from SonicElectronix.com. It seems they are out of stock on the vehicle harness. You want the X3-HON03 harness.

A quick Google search found this:

Search is your friend.
