I was just wondering if you have any other pictures of your vehicle? I am interested to see, your ride looks really nice, especially the picture your currently using.

I also tried PMing you, but it says currently full, what else modifications do you plan to do to your vehicle?

Thank you in advance.

yes INViSiON is the only proven comfort seat dvd system that still allows for the movement of the headrests... if you need any additional information, please feel free to contact me.

ALSO INViSiON is proud to announce that we are now the OFFICIAL OEM Supplier for BMW of North America's DVD Headrest Solutions.

nynd: Thanks for the picture, is that your vehicle? Would you happen to know what leather they use, Nevada or Napa?

We manufacture our headrests using the exact same materials that are used in your BMW vehicles. Napa, Dakota, Nevada Leathers for example.

We need to find a suitable system that will not eliminate the Comfort seat headrests and pillows. $1795.00 seems very high in my opinion for this system. I think I could get the DVD Advance system trim kit for $400.00 and retrofit a top quality screen in them such as a Pioneer or such and still be well below the $1795.00 probably even throw in a aftermarket DVD changer or just wire it to the existing DVD player. The only advantage I can see with the Invision system is that you get two independent DVD players in each headrest, not a big issue for me though. I had a panasonic LS82 portable player attached using their headrest bracket but the screen vibrated to much while driving. If I could find a solid bracket for the headrest I would look for another portable DVD player. Philips has portable DVD with bracket, but the headrest posts are too thick for the bracket.

BMW has a patent on the pillow and it cannot be reproduced by any company without infringing on that patent. The only way to get a screen in the X5 and not lose the pillow is get a flipdown monitor or cut a hole in the headrest itself. Both of these options are probably out considering most X5's have the panoramic roof and cutting a hole in a headrest will void your warranty on the seats of your vehicle. My system does not void the BMW Warranty and INViSiON is now an official OEM supplier for BMW of North America. We obviously are doing something right to have gotten the contract with BMW. If you have any question or concerns, please feel free to contact me at your leisure.

Martin,

The system comes with 2 options for power.

12v pwr/grnd wire (T-Tap) to the accessory panel
or
Cigarette Lighter Adapter

Shoot me a call and we can go over all of your questions!

I too am looking for an alternative to the factory installed system. I may have to unwantingly go with the Invision as last resort. I can say that I have heard only great things about Invision's customer service, top notch.

Thank you for the personal kudos!!
