it is good in fo thanks but do u know how to install in a molded head rest ?

It's not that much different than the article. The only thing different is that you need a plate to mount the monitor to ( usually using a metal plate will work ) and mounting the monitor to this plate will secure the monitor to the headrest. Use the mounting bezel that the headrest monitor comes with to finish off the edge of the monitor. Run the wire down one side of the seat and connect to the source unit or the AV switcher. Use a sharp knife to cut the cloth & the foam on the seat and make sure you use a template before you even start thinking of cutting anything. Cut enough of the foam to flush mount the monitor and the plate that you add.Jeff

so like u take the matiral of a non molded head rest .in sted u leave it on and cut out a spot in the molded head rest so u can first get the plate in and then mount the shroud to that ....ok i thaught withe the molder hard vinal head rest there was a trick to get the clean look so u just see that tv and not the shroud like u do with the head rest u can take the matrial off...thanks

I want the clean look wihtout seeing the shroud, does the material tuck between the shroud and screen or is it tucked in behind the shroud. Thanks

I have not been able to load the pics from the link, however I have personally mounted a few monitors in headrests where the shroud is not showing. I first took the covering of the headrest off, and traced the size of the cutout needed to fit the shroud. I then used a Xacto knife and cut out the foam in order for the shroud to be mounted. I then cut a piece of ABS about 1/4" larger on all sides of the cut out area, and shoved it inside to fit under the cut out area. I then placed the shroud on top of the ABS peice and screwed it into place. I then pulled the cover of the headrest back on. I cut from each corner of the shroud toward the middle, being careful not to cut too close to the edge where the cut material would be shown. Then I ran the wire from the monitor down through the headrest, and placed the monitor into the shroud. This gives the appearance of no shroud, and the monitor appears as if its just molded into the headrest. I have a homepage on AOL, where I posted a couple of the pictures of how it looks. The site link is: Headrest Before and After Let me know what you guys think

those look good. i hope mine come out that good. im ordering mine next week.
