I know for sure this has been done by one member here long ago. I believe his thread was in the DIY section so you will have to search for it.

+1 way too clunky looking, headrest screens would look the cleanest.

you can always go with the Vizualogic custom headrest...a bit expensive but it's worth every penny over those other brands.

I think another member actually ceiling mounted a lcd screen and parallel it with the idrive display. Of course you will need the video adapter to watch dvd from your idrive. Lots of work though but definitely doable.

that would be aftermarket, as there are aftermarket kits as you described, but the OP asked about OEM...

The OP better be sitting down when he asks BMW for the price of these.
