I have a pair and they are pretty decent given the low price- mine are also the previous /older version

Job done it's Friday so obviously had to go to the pub.
As said these are the older ones to the items in the link further back in the thread. Bit I'm still pretty pleased. Definitely value for money. I'm sure thee are better but I only paid £125 for the pair so I'm certainly not going to moan.
Oh and a pi of the screw location at the bottom of the seat as promised. 
Hope it helps.

Beanfest2, can you watch the tv on the rear screens too?? Where did you route the cables from the seat to the centre module? Did you go under the carpet? And what level of cutting of cables did you have to do to connect them from a permanent lead rather than the 12v cigar lighter socket??

Cheers

Nope. Not on the rear screens I'm afraid. Saying that though I can't watch it in front either as I have the analogue tuner lol. The cables tuck under the seat with a few zip ties and through a dent in the carpet to the centre tunnel. I'll get some pics. I got my - from the cig lighter with a piggy back crimp and the switched + from a connector further up near the dash. Apparently it's where the + for factory headrests comes from. I can't remember what one now though. I found a thread on it by hitting google. I would get a pic but it means taking the side panel off the centre panel. If I find time I might do it for you but don't get too exited about it. Sorry.

You can get the headrests to play on the front monitor by plugging into the input on the rear console though. The sound is only in mono though and it's a bit poo. Plus you need tv In motion to watch on the move obviously. I don't have that either yet.
I'm not going to go nuts with the install as it doesn't get used that much.
It's a work in progress. Seeing as the missus is expecting with my first child other things have become more important.
Shame really as my other car is just parked up waiting for time and money to finish that project off.

Ok so. The cables poke out in the corner of the seat. they hide pretty well on the black seat and very rarely do people look at that part of the seat aswel so for me it's quite acceptable. They're also cable tied under the seat leaving enough slack for the seat to move and holding them out of the way of peoples feet. heres where the cables enter the tunnel. Have a look you'll see the dent I'm on about. It's also a bit very seldom looked at. So again they hide well enough for me.
I found the headrests rattled a little bit with the adaptor sleeves that make them fit the seat so I fixed them inside the seat back. They also will not adjust up and down any more as the adaptor sleeves don't fit terribly well. But then it's cheap Chinese equipment so you get what you pay for.
Don't get me wrong for the money they're still great.
