I have decided to fit rear screens to my Cloth headrest,so i have a couple of Questions
Has anyone on here done this to a there cloth headrest and connected it to an RNS
What sort of money would i be looking to pay
What kit do i need or parts will i need if i was to buy it all and take it to a decent Car Audio centre to have it done
was also wondering if morty has ever done such a job ? whats his views ?
Cheers :happy2:

Done......say done, I got all the parts.
There is an adaptor from the from Kufatec (sp) in simply connects into the rear of the head unit giving you the external plugins. Think it was called an RSE Interface. Look of there site, it's about 150 euro.
Depending on how many screens you want you will have to get some breakers or dividers....they basically split one external connector into two, three and so on.
Total cost all in all about £150 plus (depends on the quality of items you use)
Then simly find you monitors attached :happy2:
-
Can you then use any monitor with this??
-
Pretty much yes. MOST monitors have standard connections.
You do get the odd brand (not many) that have unique connectors.

I've Fitted loads of screens to headrests, If you want to send the headrests to me I can supply and fit some screens, route the cables down the poles so there are no cables visible and ship them back.
I charge £100 to flush fit them and £240 for the screens including the brackets to mount them in the headrests flush and send them back for you to wire up yourself to the front screen and 12Volt supply.
Here is a few head rest jobs i've done recently.
BMW M5
Skoda Superb

where abouts are you and if i brought my car up, how much to wire my RNS510 up in a similair way to the BMW ?
i would like both hearest done and wired in,the Headrest on the GTI are alot smaller so would require a smaller Screens
cheers

Are they cloth or Leather?
I'm based in Lowestoft, Suffolk

yeah all cloth same as the pic, front of the hearest looks big,but the backs are a lot smaller
and its the 5 door

pm sent and...
Take a measurement for me of the face of the rear of the headrest.
I'm sure I should still be able to get a set of 5.8" screens in there, These are the same as the ones fitted in the Superb.
