Well I finally decided to scrap my headrest LCD plans and go with a roof mounted display for my 2002 Ford Escape. It's a 12 inch screen that i'm very happy with so far. And from before, I also have the KVT-910 dash-mounted LCD and a KVT-2100 GPS Nav System under the drivers seat. A Playstation 2 under the passenger side seat completes my little mobile entertainment system (before everyone flames me for safety, let it be known that I wired the PS/2 so it only plays on the back screen). The subwoofer is a plain-jane box with 10" Xplode speakers.

Future plans include satellite radio (nice thing is I only need the tuner box because the KVT-910 header unit has the inputs). Also possible is the Kenwood "Keg" 20gig MP3 player. Of course this is all dependant on money so it may be a while (i'm waiting to see how much I can get for my soul on Ebay). If anyone has any other Mod sugguestions let me know. Bee good!!!

I think it all looks good. Good job on the install. I am looking to be purchasing alot of the same things you have. I am buying them piece by piece and then installing them at once, so I only have to pull my car apart once. How long did all this take you???

Installing everything at once is a good idea. I'm far too undiciplined for that, however, and i've been adding each part as soon as I got it. I've been adding stuff for the better part of a year now so it hasn't been TOO long. But if I have to pull the dashboard off one more time i'm gonna lose my mind...

Yeah that is a big screen. I bet your eyes would hurt watching that big of a screen that close. It looks like it is really close to the rear seat. how close is it??

Yeah it's a bit closer than I would have liked but it was the best I could do (it really isn't bad though, especially when you swivel it to the sides). Luckily he rear seats lean back for a more enjoyable gaming session...
