The only advantage I can see with the Invision system is that you get two independent DVD players in each headrest, not a big issue for me though. I had a panasonic LS82 portable player attached using their headrest bracket but the screen vibrated to much while driving. If I could find a solid bracket for the headrest I would look for another portable DVD player. Philips has portable DVD with bracket, but the headrest posts are too thick for the bracket.

BMW has a patent on the pillow and it cannot be reproduced by any company without infringing on that patent. The only way to get a screen in the X5 and not lose the pillow is get a flipdown monitor or cut a hole in the headrest itself. Both of these options are probably out considering most X5's have the panoramic roof and cutting a hole in a headrest will void your warranty on the seats of your vehicle. My system does not void the BMW Warranty and INViSiON is now an official OEM supplier for BMW of North America. We obviously are doing something right to have gotten the contract with BMW. If you have any question or concerns, please feel free to contact me at your leisure.
