The guy said it is not possible to mount inside the headrests with the 08 comfort seats.

I think I let my children look movies at home.
Don't like the look of the package on the back of my seats.

Yes it looks pretty bloody awful in my opinion, if it was half that size it might be okay. I think I would rather get a cheap portable DVD player with the temporary mounts they have for in car viewing than that. If I was going to spend that much money I would rather have the OEM BMW aftermarket kit with the two screens mounted on brackets behind the headrests.

Not to slam te vizualogic, but just as food for thought. I was installing the INvision system on a Saturday some months ago, and ran into a problem (not theirs, I did not read the diagram correctly). I called and left a message on Lawrence's cell phone, even though I did not expect to hear back until Monday. 10 minutes later he is calling me back and 10 minutes after that I am watching movies on the system. THAT IS SERVICE!!

Do you have pictures from your DVD system ?

[Shumdit]

I can snap a few, although I think a few others here have posted them already.

Shumdit:

Outstanding service!

Dbinc,

looking great that install. I am thinking about taking the plunge. Couple of questions if you don't mind. What's the gauge ie size of the wires with the cigar lighter, need to get some t taps, guessing 12-14 is the size.
Also did you end up connecting only the switched power supply?
I am not keen on a constant feed as the X5 tends to empty its battery pretty quickly anyway...
Thanks

cpd1: Thank you!

1. Gauge size: 12-14 is good, but the only choice I had here was the 14-18 and I used the self stripping connectors since the local stores did not have any T-Tap connectors (see link for picture: http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=676).

2. Power supply: Switched power supply is all I used, no need for the constant since it keeps the DVD information with the switched power. Draining the battery was also the reason why I did not connect the constant power.

Any other questions just let me know and I will be glad to assist you in anyway I can.

Good luck and post some pictures when your finished.
