Richard,
I've just completed a full DVD/headrest system with with connection to the front screen and video in motion.
There are a huge amount of roof mounted systems available and as long as whatever you choose has a video output, you'll be able to connect it to the front screen (I am assuming that the '06 video module is the same/similar to the '02 one that I have).
Have a look here for some example roof units:

..and here for the TV in motion lead and aux video input for the tuner:

I used both of the above suppliers for my install.
It may be worth having a chat with your dealer to see if he can recommend a local fitter if you don't want to do it yourself.
I was quoted £1400 for a headrest DVD system - but did it myself for around £700.
If you use a fitter, be very specific about what you want - there are many ways of doing these installs. And it gets complicated if you want TV in motions and stereo audio through the HIFI - you need to start looking at aux inputs for the radio module etc.

I am looking at single DVD player with 10”/12” pop down roof mounted screen/player with IR headphones rather than head restraint mounts - but I’m not really sure what are my best options with a limited budget/life span for the kit – also would want to link OEM digital TV tuner to rear screen/system TV in motion I guess back monitor/s only though!
Some one with recent experience of doing this or anyone who knows a decent ICE specialist in UK Kent?
Thanks
Richard
