DIY - Headrest DVD Players Installation (Sony/eBay ones)

[hhhm3]

Good write up!
But not to take this the wrong way or negative but are you sure it’s made by Sony.
Any of the Sony systems I seen are pricy, in the thousands… Hope it is not counterfeit…

At one point I considered these units on ebay because of the cheap price, but when seen in reality, I decided against it...
The one I seen was sell for $395 +$95 shipping for the set.
I saw these kinds of affordable DVD systems at local car audio/video shops.
Than again your dvd headrest system is probably a different one than the one I looked at. These are so many after market ones…

Anyways, the vinyl color may slight match??? But you will see the difference right away and even worst, other people/relatives will see the difference in quality. Nothing worst than people thinking nice car/truck but cheap DVD/headrest... IMO I didn't like the screen compare to the more expensive ones (that’s a given).

After a lot of research, I ended up getting the Invision rear entertainment system. Been very happy with quality and look so far. Oh’ it can also plays Divx/Xvid/Mpeg1/2/3/4 (bonus!!) and I can hook up the Wii system to one or both screens for gaming or kids educational games.
Also the Invision system matched the warranty of my X5 (4year warranty!!!) because it is a BMW OEM part.
The saying is true "You get what you pay for".
I know this may sound sexist; “We are guys, get the best or you’ll always be think of it”.
