I went to my local audio shop about getting rear screens fitted in the headrest. He said that that 5.8" are the biggest that will fit in the standard headrest. is this right? Im sure someone told me that you can get 6.5's in.

I thought I read this is a safety hazzard and/or voids the warranty. Something to do with the restraint system? I forgot.

[/quote]No, this would interfere with the active head-rest system (as would hanging any form of "dvd holder" off the back of the headrest uprights)
