Headrest monitors in comfort seats?
I am attempting to work out a solution for installing headrest monitors into my 2005 X5 w/ comfort seats. It appears that the headrest posts are thicker and wider apart then standard electric seats so replacement headrests from Visualogic will not work. I also have a panoramic roof so a drop down monitor will not work. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would prefer not to cut into the factory headrests due to the small size of the back of the stock headrest.

Many thx

I don't know; doesn't seem to make a designation between seats.

The Visualogic don't fit.... that's for sure!

Drex,

The headrests in my comfort seats are not the same, the backs are much smaller. Are those comfort seats in your X? They look different then mine.

no i have the sport seats; they are not as flat. the post holes i think are the same between your comfort seats and my sports seat. the visualogic didn't fit.

what is the height and width of your seat backs???

those are definately comfort seats.
