:iagree:

do they have it in black? i might try it if i can get it for $250...

How did you get the two screws off on the bottom of the seat back to get it off? they seem to be plastic screws but don't screw out. I need to get mine off to adjust the wiring of my headrest monitor but can't get them out and don't want to ruin the screws.

Please post pics of the gray. Would love to see if the color matches. Thanks.

chilliwilli 09-16-2009 08:01 PM

Quite functional...i like that it has it's own cover :thumbup:

faz 09-16-2009 08:53 PM

Cool.

I have a ghetto player that I bought from Costco, that simply hangs from the back of the front seat for about $180. It came with remote and 2 headphones. The only good thing about that is being able to move it from one car to another, or someone's house when we are visiting. But this looks quite nice and much better fit/finish than one expects a $125 (each) product to look like.

psymon 09-16-2009 10:07 PM

I have truffle interior. How do you guys thing the black headrests would look? Most of the interior of two tone anyway.

I will if I decide to buy them. There shouldn't be an issue with the sports seats right?

im not so sure about that because mine is not. :dunno:

themoth 09-18-2009 12:50 AM

how many mm are the posts 12,14,16? I have the sport as well. Can you post a picture of the oem headrest next to it for reference of size and look? They seem great for what I need for my kids.:)

lo7100 09-18-2009 04:43 PM

Can you point to me which one is the power cord in the picture?
How do you find out the power source from the car?

Thanks

psymon 10-01-2009 03:28 PM

Anyone else install these?

TheKingSim0n 10-01-2009 03:55 PM

I am installing them tonight, I was planning on taking pictures last night on the drivers seat but the cameras battery was dead. I will try my best today.

I have gray interior and i purchased the gray headset and its basically the same

I will look forward to your pictures. Do you have sports seats?

black02m5 10-02-2009 03:56 PM

Interested in these these also. Think I have sport seats too.

jnvrgs 10-06-2009 04:18 PM

Anyone else have pictures of these monitors installed.

TheKingSim0n 10-12-2009 04:57 AM

I do and I made a DIY thread of it, check it out here: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ebay-ones.html

black02m5 11-05-2009 08:30 AM

Is there any way to move the headrests up and down? I got a set of these and it seems like they just sit on top of the seat. I would really like to be able to adjust the headrest up and down.

cavx5 11-05-2009 12:45 PM

hi all..i have comfort seats...can i still use this application..thanks rob

m5james 11-05-2009 12:48 PM

The comfort seats aren't an issue since most people have them, it's the sport seats that I don't remember if there was a definate yes or no to. Maybe browse the thread Simon created as there we're other people on there who also installed these headrests and are happy.

Michelle 11-05-2009 04:14 PM

I've cleaned up yet another Headrest DVD thread.

Final warning to m5james and hhhm3. Next time a thread has to be cleaned up, you'll be in timeout. :police: :rolleyes:

They do match the black. It's been noted in another thread that the grain isn't a perfect match, but no one has complained about it either.
