Does anyone have any ideas on where to mount the DVD player w/o cutting anything in the cabin area??? We would like to have the DVD player in the cabin for the easy of changing discs when necessary. If anyone has an ideal install option for this I would appreciate any ideas...Pictures would also be very helpful.
Thanks all!!! |
BMW has an OEM system that replaces your headrests with headrests that have screens installed. The system also includes a DVD player that goes in the center console, wireless headphones, and all the necessary wiring. It's quite expensive though, about $2600 plus installation.
There are aftermarket systems that are similar to the OEM system in that they also replace the headrests. They are almost certainly cheaper than the OEM system, but you'd need to look at their functionality and reliability and you may not get an exact color match to your factory headrests.
The OEM system can't be installed if you have comfort seats (according to BMW). I don't know about the aftermarket systems.
The beauty of these systems is you can just pull out the video headrests and put the factory headrests back in when you sell the car (or return it off lease).
