DVD Screen mount on center console?

[RamVA]

Hey all - I'm trying to figure out how to install a rear screen for a DVD player at the tail end of the center console. This is for an '02 E53, and the location is similar to that done for the new E70 X5. I'd like to avoid the headrest screens and certainly don't want the ceiling-mount. Has anyone done or seen anything like this? Any solutions that look secure/inconspicuous or removable?

TIA

Never seen it done, but you could blaze a trail!

Ram,

Be smart and just get the OE headrest monitor, one one side only to do it cost effectively. The kids will get used to it. DVD sound to IR headphones via AUX in ala DICE. Simple run under the front passenger's carpet and through the seat to new headrest. IR trigger could be simultaneously run to the center dash for remote control from most 'qngles within the car.
I would use this route just so the little ones don't rip the DVD monitor off with their feet and your elbow won't hit it when you reach back there to smack one of them on long trips (haha). At the very least, when you sell the car the headrest is a simple remove and re-install the old one.

My worthless $.02 as usual................
