Roofmount Screen ?

[Hans_ACS]

Hi all,

anyone tried to mount a screen to the ceiling in their X5? I am looking into an Alpine PKG1000, but after close inspection of the ceiling (I removed the alarm sensors to inspect) this seems to be virtually impossible...

Screens in the headrests are another solution, but over here in europe, brands like SAVV and co are hard to get ... And putting screens in the OEM headrests is something I want to avoid, because our oem headrests aren't really suited for this (at least if you want to have it look very good and neat)

The invision headrests also look good except that I don't like the extra inputs in front. I just like to have a screen visible and very few buttons.

I have a new control box on the INViSiON System that actually has a set of inputs hidden on the control box. The System will actually still have the inputs on the front of the monitor, but on the new control box is an additional hidden set of inputs so in case you want to put an xbox or ps2 under the seat you won't have to run the wires up the seat. Same great price, same great product. So just to update you, your problem is now solved!

so the headrest/screen combination will still look the same as it is now ?

Absolutely without question but there is a new control box. The same headrests as you currently see on the rev 2!
