Alpine Headrest screens mounted ...

Today I mounted my 2 new Alpine screens in the headrests. Screens are TME-710. I was surprised to find out that my 2 headrests were not equal in height. The left one is 4mm less tall than the right one. I mounted the screens in the middle of that difference, because I wanted them to be on exact the same spot on the inside frame (so they were flush with the leather).

The dvd player, an Alpine DVE-5207, was mounted in the left cargo compartment above the NAV DVD. I purchased a BMW mounting 'device' uqual to the one used for the OEM NAV DVD reader. Fits perfectly !

Overall, I am quite happy with the end result.

Price for the screen : 449 euro per piece, dvd player was also 449 euro.
Then you need mounting brackets (29 euro a piece), longer cables since I wanted the black boxes in the trunk (79 euro a piece), a video splitter (59 euro for the one from alpine). I did the installation myself

You're right about the DVD player. But on the other hand, it really fits perfectly over there, no cutting and drilling needed, close to the wiring and so on. Will see how it turns out!

thanks for the good comments !

Looks great I have my DVD mounted in the same place and I agree that its a pain to change the discs. I also have a DVD in my headunit but that player only plays on the front screen and not the rear headrests. I was thinking about moving the rear DVD player to under the front or in between the rear seats...or the other alternative is to replace the single DVD with a 6 disc changer so you don't have to stop the car every time you want to change DVDs
