Trips are a whole lot quieter with a DVD playing. I originally had a
portable dvd player in a bag with a converter powering a 6" screen mounted
to the rear of the armrest. When that bit the bullet I went to
partsexpress.com and bought a Blaupunkt unit and mounted the screen to the
unit. The whole thing tucks between the armrest and the console, and I've
got a 12v lad down at the bottom of the console.

Don't mess around with butchering the headrests...it's too easy to make a
removable unit and swap from car to car, and a whole lot less time and $.

I would send pictures, but the system is apart right now...
