Hey guys,

http://www.xtrons.com/doce/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=32

I've had these headrests in my e60 for a few weeks (great for the kids long trips)and have been powering them from the 12v cig lighter. I want to know where the connection is to hook up the screens to the idrive TV. Also i'd like to be able to view the dvd movie through the idrive tv - surely this can be tuned in when connected = where would these connections be on my e60?

+1,


how does it look? does the colour and texture match the bmw leather? Kit came with two units and each can play a separate movie at the same time?

ps. thanks for sharing, I have been wanting something like this for the boys on those long road trips

Work great - you can save a bundle when you buy these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.ie/XTRONS-HD702-Two-...item45ef1e3ca9

The really great this is that they have a FM transmitter built in so you can tune the sound from the dvd player through the radio - excellent surround stereo sound with Pro Logic

The OEM headrest just side out and the new ones slide in. The rear of the seats just pop off.

Anyone know where is there is an audio input to view the dvd on the tv idrive screen?

Do you have any pics installed? Curious to see how close the color matches with the OEM leather?
