That would be cool if your headrest monitors showed the same picture as your NAV screen. Passengers in the back would be able to switch video sources and watch DVD, TV or see the NAV screen. Since mine is usually on satellite radio, it would show the radio station, the artist name and song currently playing! Of course you could also play music videos and get DVD quality sound along with your DSP sound (as I have done with the AUX input connected to my DVD player.)

To accomplish the above, you would have to have the NAV-TV solution with the BMW TV module and then tap into the video going to the NAV screen. Not difficult to do at all. Just read into the wiring diagrams!

Hmmm...I have everything to do this setup except the headrest monitors!
