I saw that listing a while back and personally would avoid it with a 10,000 foot pole.

Reasons:

1. Seller claims they are in Newport Beach, California yet will not allow local pick-up or even reveal their location. Yes I know shipping is free, but whenever a 'company' refuses to give me their actual address, it makes me think high school kid in his parents garage. I don't care if their address is a mailbox, I just want some kind of legit location.

2. The sellers other items are located in Irvine, California. Hmmm, guess he's not sure what city he's in. I'll give him some time to decide.

3. Seller won't give a phone number or even a name. Always a good business practice.

4. Seller only communicates through a hotmail account! "[email protected]" Nice...!

5. Euro customs Inc. is not a registered company in California and obviously the "Inc." is short for bullshit.

6. Seller's policy is no returns or refunds. This is getting better by the second!

7. Seller is selling the same product, with the same color choices for: more BMW's than I can list, Cadillac, Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, etc. WOW! I knew all BMW headrests were the same (manual, electric, sports, comfort... we all know those are just words describing the same BMW headrest) and also identical to Cadillac, Mercedes, and Lexus, but I had no idea they were also the same as in a Porsche. Cha-ching! Wait till I tell my friends I've got Porsche headrests!

8. All his sales are marked 'private.' Okayyyy.

In summary, if you are looking to lose $600 bucks fast, then I can think of only one better way to do it, burn the money.

X5 Meister, thanks for your advices - i am not going to buy it and if i buy something over $200 from ebay i should take your opinions first.
If we want to install headrest with dvd, where is the reliable resource that we can get a pair?
X5 Meister or anyone?

Thanks again.

No problem. I just don't want someone to get ripped off blind by what are ridiculously strange business practices. If you want a headrest DVD setup for the X5, most people on the board seem to be thrilled with the Invision setup not just from a quality perspective, but their customer service has yet to be beat as far as I know. They are OEM BMW and have perfect color match because they use BMW leather, etc. Contact the member Acedeucy, he'll tell you everything you need to know.

I went to website and viewed your products. Can these products install by Indy shop or must be done by dealer?

I can recommend Invision 100%. They have a great product and even better customer support. Acedeucy has always had our backs and has always supported X5world. There are very few companies who can say that. Any other DVD system you buy will not come with the kind of support we get with Invision.

We've got great vendors here!
