Question How to remove headrest to install headrestscreen??
Hi guy's!
My X5-2003 has the electric headrest that moves up and down. I want to buy a headrestscreen and it comes completely with headrest and the bars that goes down into the seat.



My question:
How will this effect the factory mounted electric headrest? Can I just "pull" it off and insert the new headrestscreen? Will the electric movement still be working? And how do I actually remove it?


Hope somebody can answer me!!
Thanks in advance!

Update:
I've ordered the kit! So hopefully it will work - or I just have to sell it...

Feedback is still wanted though...

I don't believe you can replace the headrests in Comfort Seats. Hopefully someone else can confirm this.

Check with Lawrence at Invision. He probably could tell you. Going by his posts, he knows anything and everything about DVD options in the X5.

Hey guy's! I just made a huge bummer! My headrest isn't actually electrical. So the fitting went without any hassle!

I'm now driving with my headrest screens and all the cabels are inside the backseat cover!

Thanks for all your help by the way....

I'm not sure - what is comfort seats? The seats are electrical, I have memory storing option and everything. The only thing is that the headrest isn't electrical but manual. Did that answer your question?
