DVD Headrest installation - How did you run the wires?

So I got the Invisions. Just curious. Anyone who has installed them, how did you run the wires. If I mount the control module under one seat, how do I run the wires from the other seat without (a)pulling out the carpet or (b) seeing the wires running across the floor?

Thanks.

the best way would be to unbolt the seats and run the wires under the carpet where the two sections meet under the seats and rout the cabling through the center console to the other side. possibly enough room to mount the control box under the center console, if not just wire tie it to the underside of one of the seats. but remove the back of both seats in order to run the wires up to the headrest

OK. I was really hoping it would be quick until I looked at the situation. I don't want any wires in view. So the center console has to come out as well? How hard is this? Thanks for your help!

You do not want to take out the center console, very hard to do.. Just pop off the side panels and route the wires and equipment through

I mount the control module under/inside the center console
all you need is to remove the side panel and put it in there and run the wires from left seat and right seat to it.
