First, let me start by saying, that this was a major pain in the arse.

It's truly amazing how EVERY step of my audio/video project is twice to three times that of any other car.

In most other cars, to install wiring for monitors in the headrest, you would just run a "snake" through the seat, top to bottom.

Here is the step by step process of what I went through:

Because I have a set of "over-engineered" Euro Recaro's, those extremely comfortable :) heavy monsters had to be removed from the car, and disassembled.



The lower motorized housing cover was removed:


Side airbag was then removed:


Rivets holding the rear seatback had to be drilled out:


At this point, I was able to pull a snake from the headrest post to the middle of the seat:


Instead of completely taking apart the leather skin to get the rear panel off, I drilled a small pilot hole, and then enlarged it for an exit for the wiring:


With the bottom trim panel back in place, the cable is barely visible:


I then ran the cable through the seat frame at the bottom, and exited out towrds the front.


Finished product:


Playtime....um testing the monitor time :>)


And then the seats were installed back in the car:



Power, ground and video RCA's were then run out to the door sills, and up to the front dash area. The monitors will receive video signal from a dedicated DVD player in the headunit.

Stay tuned for more. :) Check my sig for links to previous posts regarding the other work so far.
