I'm looking to put a system in my 03 Envoy. Anything special to look out for? anyone done one and have pics of finished product? i have the front seat side airbags, is this going to present a problem installing headrest video monitors?

Thanks

I would recommend that you consider using a overhead screen/DVD unit. You can use headrest screens, but finding a good location for your source unit, be it DVD or other is more difficult. There aren't any great hiding spots for them other than in the rear hatch or under the rear seats. However, if you want to fold the seats down or carry large cargo then they get in the way. Using a single overhead screen/DVD unit solves this problem.

any problems with the fact i have a sunroof? the sunroof opening means that the overhead monitor will have to be placed so far back that it is right in your face for an adult. I have a little one who will have to have her head tilted back all the time just to watch the monitor, versus being able to comfortably just look ahead at a headrest monitor.

i know, but they wont sell directly to me because i am in canada, and their Canadian distributor cant be bothered to return emails about pricing, etc.

most guys in sales never leave you alone, i've never had to chase someone to take my money before but geez.....

we sell Myron & davis who also makes a exact copy plus we have matching fabrics as well in case you have fabric. Contact me directly i will be glad to sell you a set of headrest monitors. As for the dvd what we normally do is mount a mini dvd on the back side panel to the right side it is small enough where it doesnt take up to much space and still asscesible without moving seats around which can be a pain if you have child seats.
